Hey everyone. Happy Holiday’s. I was curious to hear any stories about small business owners that have depression on here.
I am a small business owner that has an online service business primarily helping other small local business owners in their cities get more traffic and customers. I also have depression and it’s not due to any situation, it’s just there.
For those of you that don’t have depression, I explain it other like a migraine, severe headache, or even a very bad upset stomach from eating something bad. You can either wait for it to pass (leaving you useless for a day or even days) or you can push through and try your hardest to make it work. (and just deal)
My depression can actually wipe me out. But because I have clients, I just push through to keep them successful.
I was just curious if there are any other small business owners here that that have depression, anxiety, or other mental illnesses? I know for me, it makes normal everyday business situations, that much harder. But I love what I do so I just push through.
Would love to hear any of your stories or how it impacts you. Thanks and I’m wishing you all good success as we get closer to the end of the year. May next year be even better :)
I love fried rice ha. I’m sure there are business owners that don’t have depression. Or at least their depression was due to business being hard. Then once it’s running itself, that cloud lifts. My depression unfortunately wouldn’t get solved even if I had 100 million dollars. It would help make choices and life that much easier but mine is here to stay for now. But I love your take on it and totally see where that’s coming from.
Everyone has some form of mental illness to a certain degree. Just like every single person has some sort of physical malady or defect to some level. It’s just more apparent or severe for some people
