Ask HN: Depression and job
50 by taparisbat3 | 32 comments on Hacker News.
I have a good job. It pays well. I work with intelligent people. It's programming in a trading company (which doesn't align with my values that much). Lately I've been feeling depressed and overwhelmed and burnout from all the work that I have to do and some personal stuff in my life. I wake up every morning feeling anxious, I am starting to have panick attacks at work and I have lost my concentration and the ability to think straight. The other day I started crying while talking to a collegue. What should I do? Is quitting this job a good idea? edit: i'm seeing a therapist lately and got some meds but I think this lifestyle is not for me anyways.
