Yeah it's fairly disheartening that it often comes down to leetcode. We're really failing our entire profession with that trash. There are crafts that have been around for hundreds of years that don't have to put up with the nonsense we do. We build things, not solve logic puzzles. I stare at that crap for 10 seconds and go back to working on projects. I wonder how many capable developers just throw in the towel for this very reason?

Personally if I get meds and it helps I'll spend my time finishing and releasing projects, that'll be what will make me stand out. For now I will keep following my therapist's advice and working on being a stable and happy person.
