I've had a 'passion' for programming for all my life, but recently I've been getting into a very, very emotional state over stuff like tooling and small things like that. The smallest things make me go off these days, and I feel so tired after every discussion. Feeling like I am in the wrong or that I don't know what I'm talking about. I wish I could just make it all go away or somehow be happy or succeed some day. I never will tho

I used to be on antidepressants, but they didn't help me regulate things ... same for antianxiety meds... I think that such things for at least myself are externally provoked.... with issues like acceptance, understanding, and things that actually make me happy and safe. Coping skills actually do a much better job for me.... but I don't stim as much as I used to because I was ridiculed for it.
