I've been working at a successful startup for a number of years. While my impact is high, it has aggravated my anxiety disorder. Sometimes to the point of becoming non-functional.

Much of my anxiety is related to how brittle software is, the rush of everything, in addition to database migrations, scaling, etc. Throw onto that anxiety about balancing my family life with work, and I'm always anxious in one way or the other.

For those out there with similar issues, how do you deal with the anxiety of working at a startup? Is there something I'm missing, are startups just not for me?
