Hi,

I stumbled upon this community more than once over the past three years, and eventually decided to register. I'm 21 (turning 22 very shortly) and a physics student in the UK. As for the diagnosis and all that, turned out this year after a very potent depressive episode (to the point that I just shut myself down and just woke up only to go back to sleep with nothing being done every day for about 2 months). In a way, the diagnosis opened my eyes a little - gave an idea as to what happened, why I have always had so much trouble trying to figure out what most people grasp innately with respect to social contexts, and my poor judgement when it comes to people's intentions (and subsequent downfall). Needless to say, due to knee-jerk reactions on my part after witnessing the lack of understanding of people, I've just distanced myself from most of them...at a cost.
My life has been intertwined with depression for quite a while now, so much that I just learned to live with it and turn it into something relatively positive.

Besides physics, I'm a website designer and programmer in my spare time, which I have been doing since the age of 10.
