I began seeking counseling and mental health care when my timelines collapsed (shortened by ~20y over the course of a few months). It is like receiving a terminal diagnosis complete with uncertainty and relative isolation of suffering. Antidepressants helped. I am still saving for retirement but spending more freely on quality of life than I have before. Iām also throwing more parties with loved ones, and donating exclusively to x-risk reduction in addition to pivoting my career to AI.
