I'm pretty sure Lexapro saved my life. No one knows about it though, I'd be seen as unstable and unreliable.

If you are not careful with work&#x2F;life balance, the hustle of working in the startup world can easily get you down. Also the high rate of failure in the startup world contributes. A startup founder&#x2F;employee that is working 80 hour weeks has every right to be depressed.<p>A mentor had a slogan that I try to model my life after : Faith, Fitness, Family, Finance and Balance!

A significant part of <i>the world</i> is dealing with depression. HN is merely a place where discussing such things, particularly in a pragmatic way, is something you can do (mostly) without ridicule or worry about stigma.
