I'm just starting to learn web design and I'm feeling discouraged.

Right now I'm building a website in WordPress using Elementor. I know HTML and CSS, but I'm still getting the hang of everything. I've been working on this site for around 14 days because I'm learning as I go.

What keeps getting to me is seeing everyone around me using AI tools like Lovable (dont get me wrong i ask AI for css help) and similar builders that seem to create websites in a day. I'm also seeing people offering complete websites for like 100 €, which makes me assume they're using AI and pumping them out quickly.

It makes me wonder if I should even continue learning and building websites this way if other people can do it cheaper and faster.

What do you suggest? How should I approach this?

Hello everyone.

I will try to make this short as possible.

This is my third time relapsing and this one is the worst. First two times I managed to get better with no medicatiom. I only did exposures and therapy.

This time tho... its a whole other story. I had ups and downs for the last 3 years but never made any real progress.

Mentally I am ok. First year my nervous system was fried to the point where the phone ringing would scare me. Im not depressed anymore and i even handle my job (from home). But as soon as I have to do something big like going to the DMV (i let my license expire) or going to the mall, i fail. There is a lot I cant do i can only go for 10 min walks. But I had moments where I was able to go further or go visit my friends even tho i was anxious.

Yesterday something happened and I realized that after 3 years i made no real progress. Started thinking about SSRI again which i got in the past but I have a crazy fear of medication. Im scared of the side effects or even becoming dependant on it. I know the doctors say that you cant but, 90% of my friends who took them sooner or later went back to it.

My question is - has anyone been in a similar situation and managed to get out without them, or pushed thru fear of them and started taking them and it was worth it? Any help would be appreciated.
