It makes me wonder how many of the people in fandom don't use it just as a way to belong, but as a way to escape. I'm at the point where fandom/computers in general seem to be poised between being helpful as breathing room/a place to vent and a way to escape depression and the wreck of my actual life & just holding me back from moving on in that life - something you seem to have managed admirably. So thanks for posting this. It made me think.
