I have a mood disorder and generalized anxiety disorder.
This is the most accurate answer in the thread.
> Having strong relationships, having a therapist, and keeping a regular schedule.
These are the things I'm actively working on. I'm only 6 months into working full time. It's monumentally difficult just to achieve those 3 things. I haven't worked an 8 hour day since training because I often feel drained and unproductive and end up just going home.
Right now, I'm doing CBT, and my therapist and I are focusing on ways for me to feel less drained at work. It's amazing how little things like taking 5 minute breaks and not eating at my desk have helped.
I feel like everyone I know who works in tech is either seeing a therapist or would benefit from one. If you can make it happen, try it.
- jimkri 7y agoHave you noticed anything from doing CBT? Or what has your experience been like so far? I've done it before, but have been thinking about trying it again, but wanted to talk to others that have tried it.
