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

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.

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
