The upside, at least, is that you do accomplish a great deal - you've studied multiple languages to a useful extent, not to mention landed your own house. That's quite a bit more than I can lay claim to. =:/ Still, I do at least try to make something of my photography, even if it's proven to be very difficult to turn it into a money-making sideline. Still, I can't give up - I want to bring bunnitude to greater attention, and I have confidence in my work.
Obviously, there's nothing to be ashamed of regarding depression. It's damnably difficult to live with, but having someone special in your life must indeed be a great boon.
I'm still undecided regarding my future relationship with the fandom
Is there really much to ponder? Ultimately, the fandom's made up of lots and lots of diverse furs, and you know quite a few. I know I was delighted to finally get to meet you in person, after all this time on LJ. If you chose to leave the fandom, would you sever ties with everyone you know? I just can't see that happening. Of course, you can pick a more background position amidst it all - still, you do seem to get quite a bit out of organising all these meets, and I imagine everyone else does too, by the sound of it.
I need to relax more and stop getting so irritable but this is far easier said than done
Indeed. It's easy to see how being less readily irritated would be a good thing, on an intellectual level, but to actually feel less irritated.. not easy at all. (Hardly a cure-all, but damn, I doubt I'd survive long journeys without my headphones, keeping the ambient noise much more bearable, as well as letting me enjoy music videos and suchlike in superb quality.
