I went through a similar thing as a one man startup (also in Vancouver). Like you, I've come to realize I simply can't do it.
The funny thing is that people often think you're living the dream by working from home. After all, you can work in your underwear if you want to! Indeed, I thought I had it pretty good and couldn't understand why I was so unhappy all the time.
It's my opinion that people who can work from home for long periods of time and maintain a healthy mental and physical state are the exception and not the rule.
- danudey 16y agoDefinitely true. I found that after a few weeks, I was waking up, stumbling out of bed, sitting in my chair, and taking a look at what was going on. After a few months, I realized that I felt awful every day, because I'd gone from bed to work without any break in between, and it was getting close to 4 PM before I was showering and having breakfast. Enforcing an actual schedule on yourself makes a significant difference, and it's the only reason I managed to keep myself sane as long as I did.
