Ask HN: What are you biggest mental / relational challenges?

12 ada1981 11 8/20/2025, 2:57:44 PM

Research shows the biggest reason projects fail is the mental and relational health of the founders. Curious what challenges folks are facing as well as resources people are using or general comments on this subject.

Bipolar disorder. Feels like I have manic episodes every few days now. Combined with a 2 year gap in employment history, SSDI benefits might be my best move forward in life.

Being on the spectrum and ADHD.

I get really into new projects. I spend way too much time researching and building, and forget to take enough rest.

ferguess_k · 5h ago

Not a founder, but I'm impacted by a couple of mental issues:

- Getting frustrated really easily sometimes

- Getting burned out from side projects really easily

jf22 · 3h ago

I get anxiety from understanding all the work I have to do.

You people sit in front of a computer all day and sometimes make good money out of it. Bullied as kids and fell in love with being in control of something... at least you have something to do! Consider it a blessing over being a roughneck on the oil patch.

What a weird comment. I think you're projecting a little

Tech is the golf of jobs.

motivation / realistic purpose / coming up with ideas

AaronAPU · 3h ago

Two things I’ve never understood:

1) Boredom 2) Not having ideas

Which I guess are directly connected. I’m never bored, never lacking in ideas, but it’s an endless struggle to pick which ones to execute on and decide on relative priority.

ranger_danger · 2h ago

Yea I guess I have the opposite problem, I always feel bored even though there are endless things that I could be doing, but I'm also lazy so that kinda cancels it out.

And I couldn't come up with a good idea for a new project to save my life... so I just write code for other people instead of myself.
