Ask HN: How do you get out of a rut?

I have a kid. I love him dearly but it has completely killed my will to do most things. It just sucks so much time out of our life. Add that to some medical problems I have been having and it’s misery.

I used to enjoy hacking around in the evening, checking out new tech, rooting and flashing phones, overclocking computers, etc, however, now I literally don’t feel like doing anything.

Kids are hard.

I'm exactly in the same boat although my work contributes to half of the depression. Unfortunately neither can I afford or want to remove from my life so I have to hang on.

Mid life is basically a 20-year hang-on until one's kids and work leave one so one feels a lot better.

Good luck and hang on there!
