Founders, how do you deal with mental health struggles?

As a founder, how do you take care of your mental well-being? What are the biggest challenges you face like anxiety, sleepless nights, constant instability, or that gnawing fear of failure? Do you work through it alone, or do you lean on a therapist, coach, or some other support system? Sport? Hobbies? I’ve been running my startup for three years now, and honestly, it’s been a rollercoaster. Lately, I’ve been wondering if therapists or coaches who usually deal with “routine” career issues could really understand what it’s like to be in a founder’s shoes? It sometimes feels like they miss the deeper, more specific struggles we face as business owners—things like navigating constant uncertainty or the emotional weight of being responsible for a team. I’ve been diving deeper into this topic, and what I’ve found is mind-blowing. For example, did you know that over half of founders skip holidays, miss out on family time, and push their health to the back burner? Almost half are thinking about throwing in the towel this year alone (!!!!), the relentless pressure to “just keep going” often leads to isolation and burnout, and about 90% of entrepreneurs admit they struggle with mental health challenges tied to high expectations and fear of failure. So, what do you think? How do you handle it all? What’s worked for you? I’d love to hear your stories or tips
