14.Why You Should Embrace Your DepressionDepression affects millions of people worldwide,and while some of them suffer from mild and short-lived depression,others suffer from a deep state of depression all the time.While being depressed is certainly a negative thing that can seriously affect your life,it also has its upsides.Here are some reasons why you should embrace your depression-accepting it and realizing its advantages is a big step toward overcoming it!
It's widely known that some of the world's greatest writers and painters created their excellent works when they were depressed or deeply hurt.It is almost an unwritten rule of the universe:when you experience a high level of sadness and depression,you tend to create deeply moving things.This is precisely what makes depression such a huge contradictory (自相矛盾的) thing these days,since for some of them depression is often associated with a lack of focus,determination or motivation.
Another common view surrounding depression is that it prevents you from thinking clearly.For some people,however,it actually helps them concentrate and see things in a totally different light.This aspect of depression applies especially if the depression was caused by an extremely upsetting life event,such as the loss of somebody dear to you.
Depression can teach you to find reasons for living,which may sound contradictory,since depression is often associated with a lack of desire to live,but in some cases where a person is so depressed that they only see the world in"black and white,"the depression can help them find reasons for living and going on.Life will try to bring you down more than once,but it is important to stand up more times than you fall down.Depression can help make you look back and see where you may have done wrong,and what you can correct to make things better.
When people are depressed,they tend to believe there is nothing good left in the world.However,it often happens that our friends and family show their true support when we are down and we need them.Depression can be a good test to see who is with you and who will flee at the first sign of weakness.Being depressed means that you will need the moral and emotional support of those close to you-and it will undoubtedly make you cherish your health,your friends and your family.Unfortunately,many of us tend to take these things for granted until it is too late.
Depression is certainly not something one would wish for,but it doesn't mean that you cannot make something positive out of it.Those suffering from depression should try to keep an open mind and to analyze all the pros and cons of situations objectively,and they might be amazed to see that there are actually several upsides they have never taken into consideration.
