As the title says, I landed my first role a month ago and still can’t believe I am being paid to write code. It’s been a hobby forever and I fancied upskilling and it actually happened.
I am a relative fuck up and I guess a late bloomer.

After battling with depression for 6 years, my life turned around. In just under a year, I went from having suicidal thoughts to graduating and landing one of the best jobs in my entire country.
It took me a while to fully accept that good things can happen to me, I think it was almost an entire year before I was in a normal mental state.
Take a deep breath, understand what is the minimum required from you on your new job, do not fall below that, and just let the blissful feelings come in. Enjoy this moment, perhaps years down the line, on a really tough day, you’ll remember your current mood and be happy even in face of hardships.
Congrats on finally it to your dream :)
I can relate.
Years of depression, undiagnosed ADHD (now diagnosed and medicated). I would wallow in despair for weeks on end.
It’s crazy how a purpose can help really.
