@Debugmed thank you man. All very useful.

@segfault0xff yeah I’m aware. Gotta work on myself to handle stress better first.

@SukMikeHok it may be temporary but it also makes you feel worse. I’ve never met a happy alcoholic. I’m not sure if devRant does pm, but feel free to reach out to me if you need to chat. Seriously though, reach out and accept some help. I’m in hospital because I was close to death. But it doesn’t have to get that bad to get help to get better. Seriously bro, get some help and look after yourself.

@SukMikeHok alcohol just numbs the pain temporarily but makes you feel much worse in the long term. I used to have an alcohol problem and I was just miserable. My suggestion is get a good therapist. Ask yourself, if you woke up tomorrow and everything was perfect, what would be different? What do you need to do to get there? What can you do now to help you feel better? Don’t let it get to the point where you actively consider suicide, it’s a dark lonely path from there my friend. Reach out to someone.

@cursee thank you. Am trying to stay focused on just one thing. I tend to go from one idea to the next, so I need to stay focused on one thing definitely.

@rsync thank you I will definitely check those out and start trying to get those done once I am out of hospital. Thanks for all your advice.

@SukMikeHok is there anyone you trust that you can talk to? Maybe family or friends? If not your doctor? Treatment can be hit and miss but if it works it can really help. I’ve worked with loads of people who struggle with depression and taking that initial step is almost always the start of them starting to feel better. Talk to someone seriously.

@C0D4 thank you mate. In terms of JavaScript it’s just because what I picked up with free code camp. But no particular loyalties to it. I’ve dabbled with a few - php, ruby, python and JavaScript. I did C and Java at uni too. Just figured I need to try and get proficient at one.

@SukMikeHok you spoke to anyone mate? If you have and they aren’t listening then you need to find someone else. If you need anyone to chat to I’m always happy to chat. I’ve had issues since I was 14 and I’m 26 now so I know it’s not easy.
