From the past couple of years I have noticed that my issues with focus and anxiety are through the roof. But I am seeing more and more people having this issues both over internet (Blind, Reddit, FB, LinkedIn) and at work. I do my best to Exercise, Meditation, Diet, Journaling and many other tricks but still in middle of the week some shit will blow up and all that existential dred is back. I am wondering how many of you have faced some issue in their careers ? Is this common ? I am thinking that as physical demanding jobs take toll on body, TECH jobs with social media creates stress on mind and saps our happiness and mental stability ! #burnout #depression #mentalhealth TC: 110 CAD YOE: 8
I’m absolutely perfect! (maybe delusional)
Are you guys listing actually diagnosed by doctor, or what you think you have? If these are all diagnosed, then Jesus.
Diagnosis is not always reliable and have accuracy of just 70%. I do have ADHD but a psychologist just said I had depression and gave SSRIs, which did not help me at all and made me worst. So had to stop taking them. And as the stupid Canada medical system I am unable to find another doctor who would agree with me. Paying 20$ a pill to get Adderall XR on Black Market now. My theory is right now most people with ADHD somehow get into programming or Tech in our times.
It’s the cell phone towers.
Engineering is hard. Period
99.99999 of the of the SE on blond most definitely do. It's obvious
Agree, but then do more neurodivergent people choose Tech career ? There is some trait for sure that has brought us here on this path 🤔
