I Have Gained a Lot of Self Knowledge Through Depression

Indeed. Self awareness is freedom. Sucks to earn it through depression ...you got this. I got this. Just keep learning, keep striving and know you are always ENOUGH AND WORTHY. I am enough and I am worthy. Every damn day depression is a battle and people are shitty...but then you find that Gemstone of a person or something that helps you believe in something you didn't. Just remember this....YOU matter and YOU have a purpose or you wouldn't be here. So have a voice...find your passion and explode!

Such a dangerous line, but I do agree with you.

I remember being depressed, in any instance could cry find myself crying, and listening to Leonard Cohen's 'Avalanche' on a walk in the snow I couldn't help myself anymore and let go. Being in awe of simple snowflakes.

Now did that epiphany change me?
Yes and no, I still struggle - but it was the first time I took in many have to deal with this.

@Wolfdancer I've learned I can be too affected; I'm actually stopping myself from reading body language/emotional cues, as likely I couldn't help anyway, and it is much for me. With friends and family I keep this as much as I can, and I don't deny the chance connecting with a person that I may not now,
