I was working on a project recently (in fact I still am sort of), staying late (really late) working ... and working. At first it was ok, but doing 3 weeks in a row with no weekend and very little break in between (the occasional game session here and there) really got to me. I remember one night I was sitting in the office I looked out of the window (gorgeous view - 35th floor in a sky-scaper in Abu Dhabi) and I just started crying. I had a massive breakdown. I've had panic attacks for the next 2-3 weeks almost daily. Just to clarify, I love coding, I'm coding in my free time, I enjoy it more than anything. This being HN, I'm sure a lot of people can relate.
