Remember, you are not alone. We are with you and your endeavors to come out of it and land back on your feet. Here are some surprisingly positive outlooks on depression.
1. IT UNLOCKS CREATIVITY
It is notable that depression unleashes your creative sides. Depression can actually get the creative juices flowing throughout the body, mind, and soul spectacularly well. Though you may feel you are getting nowhere, depression creates a lot of thinking patterns in you. You start thinking deeper. You might be able to focus more on life. You try to unfold the mysteries of life. It is beautiful if you think about it. You start living out of the norm. It is beneficial. You start living life on new terms. It makes you a much better person. You start understanding things better.
2. IT MAKES YOU A BETTER PERSON
When you have depression, you can tell when others are frustrated, depressed, and feeling unusual. You become a better judge of character. This quality is unlike anything else. I have gotten through depression and can completely understand this feeling. You can relate to people on a much deeper level. You become more grounded. An individual that is down to earth is beautiful to behold, if I say so myself. There are very few people that are like that, so take pleasure in knowing that you are one of those few chosen gems. You are rare, take it from me!
3. MAKES YOU REACH OUT
Trying to unlock the mysteries of depression is impossible. However, when I had depression I would read a lot. I would grab anything that came my way, in order to understand the happenings of the illness and possibly find some sort of cure. So, depression makes you reach out and makes you smarter in the long run. Reading is a great way to engage all the senses. It also gives you a good night’s rest. When you start reaching out to people, you uncover so many new things about yourself that you never may have known if you weren’t in depression. It helps you become a better person, more aware of your surroundings — which will help you in the long run. You’ll start socializing because you don’t take things for granted anymore.
4. YOU BECOME LESS PASSIVE AND MORE PASSIONATE
During this crisis, you start finding out what your true passions are. Because everything seems so dull and bleak, you start to search for things that touch your heart and soul, and make you feel alive. In many ways, you start doing, instead of thinking. So, this (in relativity) is depression, for those who don’t know much about it.
5. YOU UNLOCK THE MYSTERIES OF LIFE
When you are in depression, you begin to wonder a lot of things. Your mind goes from one topic to another in an instant. Hence, you start a path in curiosity that leads you to unlock several of life’s mysteries, like how the body works, etc. So, it can actually be a good thing. You can come to several conclusions about life, or just keep on wondering! The choice is your’s. Because you reach out to more people, you start discovering so many new things, ideas, innovations, as well as inventions. It is truly a beautiful sight to behold.
