Wish i could read the actual paper. I've been in a really low spot for almost a year. The startup I was working at went under, and I took a job I hate. Every morning I'm sick to my stomach thinking about stepping into that office, and all day long I find it increasingly hard to actually get work done. I have no motivation. As my depression has gotten worse, I've become constantly sick. At first I thought it was because my son was in daycare, but my wife seems to avoid most of it. Just the other day my son got foot and mouth disease, something common in children but rare in adults. Of course my wife is fine, but I somehow get it.
- retox 10y agoI thought it had been conclusively shown that stress reduces the ability of our immune system to fight off disease. Start looking for another job, take some time off or spend more time on a hobby if you're able. Easier said that done most of the time but you owe it to yourself and those close to you. Hope you pull through. Here's a link I could grab before the edit window closed; http://www.apa.org/research/action/immune.aspx http://www.apa.org/research/action/immune.aspx

- BatFastard 10y agoI hear you. I have been thru the same cycle. The one thing that got me thru it was my kids. Let loving, caring, raising them and your family be your own true motivation. It will always be there. Also find a project you love, see if a hacker space around you is active. So many amazing things going on in the world. As for jobs, well I tend to be underemployed. Its hard to find companies with vision who are not fun by fools. The upside to that is it leaves me more time to work at my passion!
