I've written about getting out of some giga-depression a few years ago, but having a good therapist was massive. Working out kept me busy and mitigated symptoms, but I don't think I would have improved without a strong psychologist.

Hope that helps a little bit. It gets better sometimes!

If you are willing, can you share a link to any public writing? I'm surprised that we don't see more blog posts shared in HN about people's stuggle with mental health. You definitely see HN posts about it, but I don't see so much blog post sharing.

My blog is pretty well-known and linking feels a bit self-promote-y, so I tend to avoid it. But since it might help, here you go!

Thank you. I've been in therapy for 4 years. It's probably helped keep me stable, but the effectiveness has been limited.
