Do you have a kid?

• davely 3y ago
  Hah. Oh, man. I've been struggling with work a lot lately and I think kid issues are a huge part of it. We've been having some serious behavior problems with our 7 y/o and it's taken A LOT of mental energy (and lots of actual time doing research, calling doctors, etc) to deal with. I've been burnt out, tired, and just have no desires or interests lately and it's because all of my and my partner's energy is spent dealing with this.

    Me too! Good luck and hold on. I hope you find a solution soon.

  I have a kid. I love him dearly but it has completely killed my will to do most things. It just sucks so much time out of our life. Add that to some medical problems I have been having and it’s misery. I used to enjoy hacking around in the evening, checking out new tech, rooting and flashing phones, overclocking computers, etc, however, now I literally don’t feel like doing anything. Kids are hard.

    I'm exactly in the same boat although my work contributes to half of the depression. Unfortunately neither can I afford or want to remove from my life so I have to hang on. Mid life is basically a 20-year hang-on until one's kids and work leave one so one feels a lot better. Good luck and hang on there!
