Title: I'm cofounder for a startup. It's been about 8 months or so. It's killing me. I don't know what it is; I clash frequently with the CEO about dumb stuff. Sometimes I love the product, sometimes I hate it. I can't see anything else because I've had my head in it for so long.<p>I've always been a person with depressive tendencies, but this is slowly pushing me to the edge. I smoke weed every night otherwise I can't relax and feel good. My gf tells me I should go see a psychiatrist but that'd make finances hard. I'm getting some really low lows.<p>I don't know what to do, help.<p>PS: my ability to pay rent and visa situation are very much tied to my startup... it makes things crazy.<p>If I quit, I'm left with 0 money. I'm unemployable by now– I can't be in at work at a decent time, I can't do what a boss tells me to, I can't take any kanban bullshit– I would not survive 1 week at a tech company.<p>Should I just call it quits and try to just go teach high school math or programming at a community college or something? (or go to thailand and live on the beach for $100 a month or something)
