On Depression and Founders
> You’re in the arena. You’re building. You will, at one point in the near future, be miraculously happy and successful<p>It was a little weird reading this because I became suicidal <i>after</i> I became successful and had a big bank account, beautiful wife and status home.<p>I'm still trying to understand it, but basically I was so focused on success that I forgot to have a life outside of work. Then when the work was done, I didn't have a life. When I looked around I saw that my kids were grown and I was never going to get that time back. Be careful what you wish for is all I can say.
