Sure I have questioned the purpose of having to deal with myself and my problems, many times, especially during the hardest times. Questioning the purpose of keep going. And I realized that at times there is no purpose that you can see at the time, you just have to trust that it will be one further ahead.
For me, being struck to the ground the way I was, I had to deal with getting myself back for my own survival, so it was not really a choice. But with it, I have come to appreciate things that I was not even aware of before, and have developed new sides of myself and a new perspective of what I want from life have started to emerge.
I was "happy" before depression hit me with a lot of friends, good education, future ahead of me. And then BOOM I was in bed, crippled by my own mind with no energy or ability to take care of myself. Along the way I have learned to enjoy time with myself, finding what works for me, and really understanding what a relationship to someone else is, something that I many time took for granted. My issues forced me to become more present and to take better care of myself, which sure is and will become two amazing gifts.
