Working for yourself.. and depression

Heya guys.

Anyone here suffering from a degree of depression while owning a business, freelancing or anything similar? I've started many websites, purchased domains, did all kinds of online marketing stuff, but my passion lies with creating video games, and I feel I could be earning money from it, aside of it being a hobby.

It's just that these episodes of depression and negativity block everything in your path from time to time. I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with this unusual combination.

I've even been thinking of working less hours, I mean I will be able to live less of a comfortable life, but at least I will get more time, enough time to rest, and time to develop games. I also really hate working for some boss. It's the obligation that bothers me.. get up at 07:00, be there at 08:00, do stuff you don't like doing, go home and do it again tomorrow, the day after, etc. month after month year after year!

I don't need to be instantly making thousands every month, for now the goal would be to supplement the money that I would normally earn from the hours I would work less and build it up from there.

But of course, you need to be able to persistently work on your business. Or at least that's how I look it at it... feel free to comment.

 

Thanks. It's what I'm currently already doing, I already work parttime, it's just these episodes that bother me the most. I've now been able to 're-arrange' my work days as I think that will be better for me. I was just wondering if anyone else has been able to become 'successful' in business in general whilst suffering from depression. Seems unlikely as I write this, but I perhaps if you also have enough 'good' episodes it could still happen.
