This seems like a really worthwhile get-together; thank you for setting aside the venue. Getting developers together to candidly discuss mental health and wellness is unique. It reminds me how frequently we operate in silos, although shared experiences can be really affirming.
Combining real experience with useful techniques—such as mindfulness advice, establishing reasonable limits, or just noting when anxiety becomes intolerable—allows me especially to enjoy Seeing mental well-being handled with the same weight we assign to code quality or deployment processes relieves some of it.
