generalunited··on Ask HN: Any hardware startups here?
Worked on this hardware startup from 2011-2015: http://VOXON.co - a volumetric 3D display company.

We went through the Microsoft Accelerator for Kinect powered by Techstars 2012 in Seattle. It was very hard to find investors, mentors, and partners for hardware at the time.

That said - building the technology from the ground up and seeing how much people loved it - I’ve never been more proud to be apart of a project. We were doing something really hard - but together we built exactly what we said we’d make.

generalunited··on Ask HN: Has anyone here turned around their life in their 40s?
Wow. What did you use as the prompt?

There are actually drugs that can help with suicidal thoughts:

“Clozapine is used to treat severely ill patients with schizophrenia who have used other medicines that did not work well. It is also used to lower risk of suicidal behavior in patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder.” Nov 1, 2022

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clozapine?wprov=sfti1

Medicine, therapy - and a group type therapy can help.

Also consider career switching - I believe you can reinvent yourself at any age.
