Any other devs with PTSD here? Since the trauma I find it hard to focus on programming. Before the trauma I would code on the job, get home and code personal projects for fun. After the trauma I can barely focus on programming for work.
How do you focus?

    @runfrodorun thanks for sharing! It's been almost 4 and a half years since my trauma and I've moved away to a different country, away from most of the triggers and in general I'm better, but even though I'm feeling better (not good mind you, but a lot better) I still have no improvement in my concentration which bums me out... And drugs - they just exacerbate the problem...

    @runfrodorun I meant prescription drugs, anxiolytics, anti-depressants, hypnotics, etc... But yeah, they suck... Unless you go overboard and then you just don't care about anything, that's pretty nice :D

    But yeah, what meant the most to me - programming is now difficult... I was hoping it would get better with time - it didn't. Then I was hoping it would get better when I start (however I manage to do that) feeling better, it didn't... I guess it's just the way it is now... I mean, it's not like I can't program, I'm still a good programmer, I'm just not top-notch anymore...

    @runfrodorun haha, exactly the same :D
    It sucks, especially with those ocassional massacres that remind you of how good you were, I hate that
