Ask HN: Are you a solo founder? How do you deal with stress?
I'm a mentally tough individual, and I deal with stress very well. I have no issue with managing teams while coding on large projects that have tight deadlines, but there's a 'different' type of stress when starting your own company by yourself. After all that self-proclaim tough guy shit, let me cut to the chase. Doing a start-up alone is an intense personal challenge at first. You quickly become aware of your flaws, shortcomings and you need to adapt and adjust soon; or you fail. How do you deal with this deep level of personal stress? Vitamins, Working out, talking to other people in the start-up space, etc.? I'm starting to take vitamins and going to local hotels to work out; Yes, I walk into hotels act like I'm staying there and use the gym. I do feel better, but I wanted to see what others are doing. I've been reading about how a lot of entrepreneurs are struggling with depression and wanted to start this thread. I hope this thread helps another entrepreneur out. Stay strong, stay focused and believe in yourself. Remember, each time we screw up, we found another way we can become better. 3 comments on Hacker News.
