Various forms of lockdowns + extensive work from home + november => a wave of depression at the scale of two unsurpressed hacker news threads!
Question is what can we do? Without resorting to therapists and pills ...
Maybe the first thing is to have a bit humour and perspective about it - reminding ourselves that this too shall pass.

- throwaway4good 6y agoI don't know your situation. But one of the things you get from a normal job is a regular schedule. If you start working from home you can all of sudden let go of that schedule. Working at odd hours, only being tied down by a few online meetings. The trick is of course recognising what has happened and then find of way of recreating the missing bits: I.e. forcing a 9-5 schedule on your work even if you don't have to.
- lgvld 6y agoOK thanks for the video. ;-) At first it really sounded like plain propaganda, but actually... it’s quite funny. Way less dramatic that any other covid movie I’ve seen. Well played, I guess. Communication is a key, if you want to gain (some) acceptance from people. What youngsters particulary don’t want is being frown upon and treated like irresponsible kids -- and this video contains enough humour to make the point, without sounding dumb and patronizing.
