I’ve been struggling too. I have anxiety and depression issues during regular times. The past few months have been really hard for me. I feel very alone and stressed. I cry at the drop of a hat. I don’t want to do any of my work. There are times I wish I would just get the virus and die so I could quit worrying about it.

I quit working early today and spent some time on Zoom with my friends and then called and talked to my parents for a long time. I really needed some connection and some time out of my head to have fun. It helped so much and I feel better tonight than I have in days.

It's a hard time for everyone. I had a breakdown this Monday which was essentially the starting of my 4th week at home, but I felt better on Tuesday and even better on Wednesday. Just take it one day at a time and focus on things that make you happy. You're doing the best you can :)

It is not bad. You are doing actually better than most people. I actually would say allowing yourself getting emotions out and be raw and real is a must.

I think we all cope with this hrs time differently and breaking down is part of it. Earlier this week I though I was depressed I didn’t feel like working studying or eating. It went away the day after 😒 I think it’s normal

VC’ed with my mum yesterday and i started bawling and crying for no apparant reason, i think these are signs.
10 mins dialed into a client call and was the model of confidence and maturity.

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
