For the ones interested in an actionable way of dealing with depression (albeit one that does not replace professional help), here is a course in cognitivo-behavioral therapy, a technique that yields good results: https://www.getselfhelp.co.uk/step1.htm
It's free by the way.
This is mindfulness, but also classic NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming).
Your feelings are tiny and you can control them and use beneficial ones. This in essence is NLP strategy.
I like NLP and had excellent results with it, so it helps me think in these terms.

If you control your feelings, what's supposed to direct your control over your feelings?
I think he explained quite in great detail in video. I really enjoyed seeing how other developers cope.
Any NLP resources you would recommend?
There are a lot, and NLP us used a lot to describe things that doesn't have anything with it. Self help took it like quantum entanglement and ran with it. So beware of that.
Founder is Richard Bandler and John Grinder, first one is your best source (he rants a lot and often tells same stories). I like approach of Robert Dilts a lot (just giving you keywords got google).
I read a book about it long ago and helped me greatly. I quit smoking, turn my life around. Essentially explains you how you can run your brain.

Hope this helps.

Bandler and Grinder were charlatans. Maybe Satir was serious, back in the day, but Bandler and Grinder didn't believe their own teachings in the end. Steer clear of NLP.
OK, so you clearly believe they are no longer charlatans :). So they should be good resource then.

I haven't looked at the video, but it is funny that I spent most of last week procrastinating by playing (and finishing) The Witness... Great game, but really the best piece of advice I could have received was to not start playing it!
Here's the YouTube mirror, since Twitch VODs often have janky buffering problems in my experience:

Do they still? I watch a fair bit of Twitch, but never live. It used to be pretty bad, but since Amazon the player quality has improved dramatically.
Only time I have issues now is when I pop into a VOD of a stream in progress, and have to keep refreshing as the video gets longer.

Ahh, the stream listings often don't load and the entire video infrastructure goes down from time to time. Any VPS provider could give you better reliability. IMO there's a code issue, likely due to their hipster web stack. Also the site is really heavy-weight, someone force these developers to use older hardware.
From the video:
"The mouse keeps popping open the web browser to some stupid discussion site."
He's talking about you HN! :D
