    I’m in my late 40s, suffering from depression since I had extreme burnout from my big tech job.

    One thing to watch out for: I took an SSRI for a long time and only when I stopped taking it (SLOW TAPER, please) did I notice how much it had suppressed all my emotions. I tried a different one and it is much better. Ymmv.

    Not claiming I have solved any of those issues, but the things that always do make a positive impact for me are Community, Action, and Compassion. And don’t forget yourself with the compassion. Good luck!
