One of the predominant symptoms of depression is a complete and total lack of interest in the world around you; one of the predominant symptoms – some would say the defining aspect – of being a geek is an utter fascination with the world around you.
Isn’t it strange that the human brain is capable of accommodating both of these states at once?
Since December 4th I have had a job. My employer is a company based in Cambridge by the name of Hyperspheric Solutions.
Since November 2nd I have had an Xbox 360. My Gamertag is FatBusinessman.
Since August 19th I have had a girlfriend. Her name is Jo Anslow.
Since the winter of 2002 (and perhaps even before then) I have had depression.
The job helps make the depression easier. The Xbox 360 helps make the job and the depression easier. The girlfriend also helps make the job and the depression easier, but tends to leave the Xbox 360 alone. The depression is, by and large, distinctly unhelpful.
