Monthly Report - October

Men Don't Cry.

I must confess I do cry and cry like a baby. It feels nice afterwards, I must say.

Last month was really difficult for me, on personal and professional front. On personal level, I am undergoing therapy for Depression and Anxiety.

On professional front, I missed many things. For the first time, I couldn't take part in Hacktoberfest in the same passion as before.

Another low point, I stopped contributing in Swift for The Weekly Challenge.

Then I stopped taking part in the weekly challenge completely. No weekly blog either talking about my contributions.

I didn't stop there, I even stopped doing live session video.

At one point, I even decided not to do monthly report.

With all the negativity, I received plenty of support and helping hands. Thanks everyone.

Let's take a quick look through last month main activities.

Hi Mohammad,

We've never met or connected before but I feel like I kind of know you by following your work here, on your YouTube videos and most importantly, the Perl Weekly Challenges you run. As I mentioned on a recent blog post, I never thought I would dip my toes in the Perl waters but your work and contributions to the community were a big factor in it. I'm sorry to hear of the tough times you've been experiencing but am hoping you find your way through it to emerge even stronger and healthier on the other end. Thanks again for all you to for this community.

Samir

Good luck with your treatment.
