    Hey, feel like that a lot.

    Just like most of the people here I try to accept that I’m this way, and even if I don’t want, I will not do things and feel bad. I try just to apologize and get the thing done if possible. Not much to do besides that.

    Also when I’m on a low mood moment these feelings of guilt appear to be enormous, but eventually you get yourself up an they are manageable. Being burn down by that is pretty common for me, so I wish you some rest!

    Damn, I don’t know where to start this response.

    -First, I didn’t know that “the real devil” was so good giving advice. Where I live we have a saying that translates like “More knows the devil by old than by being the devil”, so your experiences and conclusions are appreciated.

    -I haven’t been medicated yet, so I will have your advice in mind regarding to that. Also I don’t really know if Adderall is a thing where I live.

    -Categorizing things by mood needed is something that I haven’t heard of, but is so clear now. All my life I have ridded waves of motivation, but I have never planned to do it in advance.

    -I’m already on therapy so that’s like my “sprint review” to check if an habit is sticking, for me agile has been a good framework to try habits and new approaches.

    -As a last point, I’m a developer but as you, I guess that I’m an artist, a writer and whatever I’m feeling like in the moment.

    I really appreciate you took time to write this comment, thanks!

    EDIT: formatting.


  • I understand what you mean by meetings blocking you to start your progress. I work the best when I have 1 meeting and can solve doubts by just chatting. It seems that yesterday I was facing an issue that no one really understood and I wasn’t an exception, so perhaps that was the reason why I was overwhelmed and couldn’t code anything.

    Thanks for reaching to my SOS post!
