In my case it is the opposite, programming has helped improve my overall morale. I was running a startup, during first few years my programming contribution to our products were very high as I had inexperienced developers. But once they gained experience, my contribution to actual coding got diminished and was limited to architecture and major troubleshooting. That was compromise I had to make as a single founder and executive of the startup. But in 2018, I had severe health problems and had to undergo life-threatening surgery which has permanently restricted my neck movements severely and had to close my startup. While I was bed ridden during recovery, I wondered whether I could even get back to computer usage if not programming. Now a year since surgery, I have adapted to restrictions in the neck movement, changed computer display setups to aid it and started programming few months back although my primary profession now is coaching startups. I recently released the project which I was building past few months[1], which was inline with what I do professionally and being able to build and launch the project after months of uncertainty over whether I will be able to use the computer again has had a positive effect on my morale.
