How Silicon Valley is dealing with mental illness
I post a lot of dumb comments on HN, mostly because I find too many people take things too seriously here.  But anxiety is something that I can very much relate to being a work from home developer.  I&#x27;m still learning the best ways to cope&#x2F;treat, but I can&#x27;t say enough about getting enough exercise.  I definitely don&#x27;t do it enough now, but when I do there&#x27;s an unmistakable decrease in my anxiety level the following day.  But I&#x27;m talking like running, or something else that really gets me exhausted; not just a walk around the block.  I&#x27;m a skinny guy too, which for me is another excuse to not have to exercise; which I think is not uncommon amongst developers.
