Have you considered doing something besides geek stuff for a living? I'm 
sure you're good at it, but it seems to cause you a lot of stress. There 
are a lot of things I am good at and/or love doing which would make me 
miserable were I to try and do them for a living.

Think about it this way. A person is considered hyper-religious if he 
spends three hours a week in church. A few hours a week in the garage 
make you a hot-rodder. Ten hours a week watching porn or playing video 
games could get you an intervention from your friends. A Nascar fanatic 
might go to three races in an entire year. YOU ARE AT WORK AT LEAST 40 
HOURS A WEEK! Your job, as much as many hate to admit it, is a very big 
part of who you are. Programming, network-administrating, etc. might not 
be enough to sustain you for 40 hours a week.

I'm not sure, but I think I remember reading that you are learning c++ 
because your preferred language won't advance your tech career. There are 
other avenues.
