Mental health check. How is yours? Are you feeling happy? Anxious? Fearful? Indifferent? What would it take for you to feel better, realistically or unrealistically?

#3Very satisfied, a few years from retirement, debt free and good salary, still in good health (mentally and physically). I think a key thing for me was realizing that I liked doing hands-on stuff at work and actively resisted getting promoted to positions I didn't want.

#6Over 40, very nervous about the coming layoff. Also worried by not being debt free, not being able to find a new job quuckly, not being able to improve health in general, etc. Basically worrying about everything but should be fine eventually.

#8I reckon I'm doing alright. Getting ready to move, job's going well, get to hang out with the boys on the weekends. Been worse, been better, but I can't complain.

#9Highs and lows, but doing a lot better recently. Turned 30 and quit my PM job last year to start a mental health SaaS, haven't had an income since which made me feel like a loser vs my friends. I think it's best to just not compare yourself to other people as much as I had been doing.
On the bright side, we just got our first enterprise customer. Plus the app has helped me deal with self-doubt, since I don't have health insurance. Check out www.beta.joinjoyfully.com/onboarding (Hey HN Hive Mind, this still in-line with the OP's question.)
