Ask HN: How to get back to life and improve?
I could really use some wisdom and advice!
I am going through some rough phase of life. Although, I have a stable job but my personal life is not very stable. I have been in a relationship and then a marriage since last 7 years. Previously, I always worked on side projects apart from my job and was always continuously learning on the side. But since last 7 years I have not done anything except my day job. I don't have anything to show on my Github profile or any side project. I was too emotionally attached in the relationship and it sucked all my time. I wasted too much time in an abusive relationship and got depressed. All my evenings and nights were either spent drinking or slacking time on social feeds, reddit or HN. I lost my ability to focus on anything and it has been a long time I built anything from scratch myself. I never realized that I slowly killed my learning ability.
From the past few months, even though I am trying to get a side project started but I am unable to get anything started.
Has anyone been in a similar state like this before? How did you come out of it?
