fromtheabyss··on Ask HN: Did anyone else lose their marbles?
I didn't have a psychotic break but I had what could be considered a nervous breakdown. I couldn't comprehend anything I read. I could barely think. I didn't have the motivation to do anything but the bare minimum each day. I learned how to fake my condition with my family, but when alone I may as well have been typing "all work and no play..." on a typewriter all day because I was long gone.

fromtheabyss··on Surviving Depression
I've been living with depression and anxiety for so long that it is my state of normal. I find cover from my feelings by working 12 hours a day and focusing as much as I can. When I lose focus is when depression resurfaces. I finally invested in my mental health in the last year, seeing a therapist and practicing CBT. This has been a breakthrough year for me, emotionally. I am thinking about quitting my work and working on something entrepreneurial related to mental health. I've found that the most important part of self-therapy is practicing what is learned, developing new mental habits that trigger as countermeasures to cognitive distortions.

I feel like I'm a survivor of a emotional holocaust where people see an emaciated mind and don't understand the cause.
