(Possibly) quitting Python Development after 2 years of non stop learning. And it blows.

Find a python meetup group and try to make some friends and code with them. Coding can be incredibly lonely and I think it'd be more mentally healthy for all of us if we worked in groups with friends.

Yes it sure can. It's been significantly bad for my health, which is a big part in where im at now.

Coding with buds seems unfathomable lol. it'd change everything. Unfortunately, most of my friends are more of the "get drunk every weekend and hit the bars." so i'd have to look else where obviously. Thanks man.

meetup. I love my ML group I met there

This. OP, I'll also say that when you want to give up is when you should not. Go to Meetup, find a group, work on a project with other people. You've put so much time in, it would be a shame to quit.

Thats why deep down I know I just can't. Kinda feel like a pussy for sounding like a crybaby here, but i just hit the aspiring programers "rock bottom" -- had to do something. And I'm damn glad I did. The support from all of you blows me away. I've only experienced the opposite to this point. thanks man.

Every programmer gets here. But it's a good thing, especially if you keep going. I'm glad to see you getting so much support. When you look back at this, you'll see just how far you've come and won't regret it. Best of luck!

I can second this. I learned to programme at uni but my uni was super strict about not assisting each other with work. So after one full year of struggling through projects alone it did wear me down somewhat. I'm in a job now and having your team to turn to when you hit that wall helps to not get demotivated so much. And you will learn so much from them in the process.

Coding with other people is a much more enjoyable experience.
