Depression sucks, especially when trying to learn how to code. It's been holding me back for the last 5 years. There are some days I don't even feel motivated to sit my computer to play a game let alone open up a code editor.

I've been taking CBD to help with my depression and anxiety. It seems to help! Wishing you all the best, Chris!

Chris, I've been watching you since 2017. Since then, I have progressed through the career ladder and currently work as a senior software engineer. I want to say that status and money never equates to happiness. I was working insane hours and my health, happiness, and my mind turned for the worst. I'm very thankful for what I have become however, I no longer burn myself out through endless coding every singleday. Thank you for all your videos and I wish you the best.

people never know how bad it can be until they go through it. Here for ya brother

[JoseGarcia-vrmx]

Dude thank you for being so transparent! I really applaud your courage for being so open about this mental disease. Praying for you and your family!

[UNRULYILLUSION]

Yeah I just started using CBD and Hemp for PTSD, Depression, and Anxiety; it's been working wonders. Because it REALLY DOES SUCK being depressed. Props to you for being open about it bro.

[olivergalante]

Love you man frfr you have so much support behind you.

Some of the most successful people use that depression to propel them into greatness. I’m 30 years old, and... I’ve been homeless half of my adult life with no family or friends to get me through those times. Well, ever since I changed my diet to complete Whole Foods and exercise... my inflammation and negative thoughts/feelings started to dissipate. I haven’t been severely depressed (even while homeless) in over 5 years. I don’t eat junk food anymore. It poisons the mind, body AND spirit.

[TazExprez]

Thanks for being so open with your struggles. This may motivate others suffering with depression to seek the help they need.

[dz]

This is absolutely essential to talk about during these times. I very much relate.

Thanks for being honest about your struggles. It is not uncommon and can be solved. Glad you're getting better.

Thanks for being so transparent here Chris, so important to speak out!

[karlkeller]

Thanks for sharing Chris
I've had recurrent major depressive episodes for over a decade, now diagnosed with Dysthymia
...my biggest worry is how it affects me in my profession
Hearing you and others in Tech sharing their stories does console me somewhat

Hi Chris, I gotta say you inspired me. I just started learning code 2 weeks ago through codecademy and bc of you I did my first real static webpage. I know I wouldn’t have reached the point I felt I knew enough to actually just start building a site, but your video basically said do it snyway even if you dont have full confidence. What a jewel !! Much appreciated brother.😎

[tonybowen]

Thanks for sharing. That's heavy stuff for a live stream. You're story is super inspirational!

[songasgapo]

thanks for sharing and expressing your emotions. it inspires a lot of people.

[joshclemons]

I can agree and relate to everything in this video basically. I'm 31, have struggled since around 16 or 17 but got worse as I got older. I'm starting to work on learning code again, I'm thinking and hoping that the tech industry will be better for my mental health

[chrisabreu]

Depression has no reason most people think that you sad or lazy but no is a whole different level of sadness

[gibbsesouffrant]

Crazy bro. I’ve dealt with the same type of mental health. Keep God first and push forward. 🙏🏽

[ChoogyNet]

Good thing that you are aware of it. With awareness, one can get through depression better

[robinson]

Sorry to hear that Chris. I can not relate, but I do support you. I am glad you are open to speaking about for others to learn, and I am glad you are doing your best to excel
