Indie Bites

Struggling with my own mental health


Listen Later

I've never really understood mental health, or those who have had these challenges in the past. So when I've had my own challenges, I've struggled to comprehend what has been happening to me. This episode is hopefully an interesting insight into how I've been feeling over the past few months to hopefully help others who might be going through a similar thing.

Here's some things I talk about:

  • Where I've been
  • Overworking
  • What went wrong
  • Why I didn't notice a problem
  • Why family and friends are so important
  • The supportive indie hacker community
  • YouTube videos are hard
  • Burnout / depression are real shitty
  • My future plans
  • How I'm going to get out of this mess

I mentioned in the pod I'd been making videos about my motorbike, here's a few links if you'd like to watch:

  • Here's the YouTube channel, Monkeying Around
  • The video I spent 5 hours on
  • Most recent video

and here's how to contact / support me:
