Not sure if this is the right section to ask, but I wasn't sure where else it fits.

Have any of you been able to successfully start a business while depressed? I've mentioned a few times throughout the site but I am in a soul crushing slow lane right now and I desperately want to get out. I don't want to just jump to another slow lane job, but I'm in such a fog right now I can't even figure out what to do or how to start. I have been stuck in the limbo of trying to think of ideas and how to execute, but also barely surviving because I'm exhausted after working 55-60 hours a week. Long story short, I was given a mountain of new responsibility but they went back on the compensation I was promised, so it's about 30% less than I've been told for the past 6 months.
