Having your programming skills first was a surprise to me. Usually it goes either: about, work, education skills or about, education, work, skills. I do not want to be mean here but why would you bring up your depression in a job interview? Imagine you are the interviewer and are looking for a qualified candidate. The guy seems like a good prospect and then suddenly drops the "I'm depressed" bomb. Huge red flag! It costs a lot of time and effort for a company to hire someone and a ticking time bomb is not a good investment. Fix your depression, it's all in your head. It's not reality what matters, but our thoughts about it. Imagine you have no emotions or feelings whatsoever and you are just The Observer. See man kill another man? OK. Now if we put a moral/ethical framework on top of that we suddenly start to feel icky. Use this to your advantage and read up some Stoicism, my friend. You can not change the past, so why spend so much mental energy agonizing over it? Today is the first day of the rest of your life, go get it! ;)
