Being new to blogging I am not sure whether or not you can see my name, if not it is Zack Koval, but for my blog I will be going by SackZack. Because of that I figured I should go into a little more detail about the name. As you know i went to a boarding school called Avon Old Farms. At Avon sack is slang for "sack of shit" now I know your probably thinking why the hell would you want to go by that. The reason is sack really means to be lazy or to sit on your ass. Example: Lets go sack it. While i was at Avon I spent most of my time in my room watching TV or playing games and many of my friends affectionately referred to me as a sack. What they didn't realize was I was not just being lazy or choosing to be in my room all the time, it was just a way for me to protect myself from the feelings that came with social interactions, and was also one of the symptoms of my depression. I go by SackZack because its a bit of a paradox, yes i was technically being lazy but the real reason is I was suffering from depression and anxiety. I believe this name describes the symptoms of these conditions, so it accurately describes me, along with being an affectionate nickname. The point of this post is to give you a little more insight into my life but to also explain to people that we are not just being lazy, this is a negative side effect of anxiety and depression.
