I started dealing with depression back in 2012 when I couldn't land a career in my field of study and couldn't work as a defense contractor working on military aircraft again, so what I did was I got into drones and decided to learn how to build one then I figured to try something new then that's how I got started with coding. My first language is HTML when I signed up with codecademy. Even now when I feel depressed, bored, or sad, I'll just log in to my computer open up a programming book (which I have several i.e python, c, c++, javascript, react, angular, SQL) and start coding. Most of this book that I have are from tutorialspoint.
