I built an app to fix my depression
Read the blog post and also the other blog post in the page ( &quot;Why discipline isn’t the answer to procrastination&quot;, &quot;How to stick to good habits without being hard on yourself&quot;, &quot;How fear of shame causes procrastination&quot;, &quot;How fear of success causes procrastination&quot;).<p>I get the feeling that the author is in a situation a lot of people in HN could relate to: A situation where Performance Anxiety, Fear of missing out (FOMO), Fear of being left behind, distraction and ADHD all gets entangled in ones work , personal life &amp; choice of how to spend their time. It seems like if these things are left unchecked for a long time, the things can lead to depression, or other form of negative mental state.<p>My question is how do you solve&#x2F;amend this? Reading comments from similar themed post on HN it seems like a lot of people are aware of themselves having one or more of the above. Some seems to have accepted it, others seek help from therapist. But a lot of people also seems to feel like they don&#x27;t want to &quot;lose&quot; the feel of guilt, stress, bad self image that follow performance anxiety and fear of missing out because they take their negative emotional reaction as a virtue that pushes them to improvement in stressful times (myself being one of them).<p>It seems like vast majority defaults to &quot;work harder, smarter&quot; as a solution, and only later in life when &quot;working harder&quot; have a diminished (sense) of return, or when they hit a wall, change their course of action.
