Thank you for this, this lifted me up.

I'm going through something similar to the OP, I haven't given up yet and don't really consider it either. But, it's really hard. My mental health certainly took a hit and I'm full of anxiety as my savings are not enough to cover the upcoming bills and couldn't find a contracting gig so far to support the cashflow. I've experienced severe panic attacks and bouts of depression. I sometimes dread the passing of days.

Hope I'll find a way.

It might be illogical to say this but I know we'll make it one way or another. I believe in what we are doing and what we built actually resonated with the customers as well. Just need to power through this last mile somehow.

Anyway, reading your comment gave me a little more strength. Much appreciated.

I have had anxiety/depression too my whole life. Took me years to understand it and figure out a path forward. Therapy, meds helped a lot. And it took me decades to get the skill and perspective to start a company. Life is pretty long, if you spend 5-10 years dealing with depression -- you still have a 30 years of work to try new things once you learn to deal with your biology!

TBH that's a perspective I did not have. At 27 years old I feel like I've been slow and like I'm late for some of the aspirations I've had. I tend to look at things from a daily perspective. Today and tomorrow.

Thinking in decades however, reframes and somewhat changes the problems. I'll keep this in mind.
