It is beyond exhausting. I get to the end of every single day and look around wondering what the hell I've actually accomplished today.
I will spend wasted hours each day hoping ebteren tabs in my browser and just so very distracted.
I have noticed that when my significant other gets home from work, I am able to focus a bit better and get some stuff accomplished. I'm guessing that is some body doubling.

Side-note... How old are you? What frameworks? What personal projects? I'm 40 and just REALLY beginning this journey into coding and as much as I love it it is also insanely overwhelming because of reasons you started and also my terrible ADHD. So hard to stay focused on learning a piece at a time. My brain wants to open all the links, check out all the courses and YouTube videos... And it becomes too much.
Specifically the 'need support' and 'join Discord' piece

I'm so confused by the people that keep arguing this about just using Google. It's clear why it is easier to use GPT. Is it always correct? No. But, are you certain the info on the site you just navigated to through Google search results is any more correct? If it is a topic you know nothing about them how would you be any wiser either way?
