> It's worth saying that it was really hard coming back and starting work again. This is indeed a worry of mine, though I think if I'm actually fixed, I'll be jumping to at least write code and work on software projects. I've always been very driven, and was trying to start a software business at 13. I don't think that aspect of me will ever go away, even if I'm super depressed. > I took 8 months and traveled the world. It was great (but expensive!). Where did you go and what did you do? I grew up relatively poor, and combined with my social anxiety, I have never really gone anywhere (I don't know what I would do when I get there). I don't even have my passport and have never left the US. |

My girlfriend put a serious effort into organizing the trip (we traveled together) and I don't think I would/could have done it without her. I went to lots of different countries including India, New Zealand, Cambodia, South Africa, Namibia, Bosnia, Turkey, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Bolivia. Some places I stayed for weeks, others just days. Some places we did group tours (https://www.gadventures.com and other similar companies) and other places we stayed in hotels/hostels/camped. You can learn about history and culture and you can enjoy yourself drinking, eating and meeting people. Each place is different.
