The gift of depression....

Feeling the blues or being depress is not something to be ashamed of. In fact if you flip the coin over, you'll find that this is actually a gift in itself! There is a precious gem imbedded in its dark corners but you have to have the strength and patience to look for it.

There is a lot to learn and celebrate about it! It takes you away from the grinding mill of daily life and perch you in a quiet corner of your world far away from the things that crowd your mind.

A corner where you can be left alone to study and pull away the pieces of your very own jigsaw puzzle called “your life”! Once you have a good grasp of all the pieces that makes up “YOU”, you're ready to come out from that corner knowing you are COMPLETE and all you need to do is put the pieces back to where they rightly belong

Many people struggle with how to get out of those blues and find new coping skills. As long as the person journeys out of the depression and not remain permanently in the blues, depression becomes a vessel for growth.

Thank you for the great insights Oriental applause
Hi Marina

Thank you for your thoughts; you are absolutely right. Sometimes it takes only one kind word, a smile, a pat on back to pull someone out of the blues..."it's not how many times we fall but how many times we get up" that counts.
sorry .... can't perceive depression as a gift .... it only is a condition that requires treatment.
@vyoleta

those were words of wisdom!
i lost a lot of pieces to my puzzle ...... and i may have re engineered some of the pieces .


good thing i happen to like my quiet corner .rolling on the floor laughing
Have to agree with 10k. I don't exactly see depression at least the clinical type as a gift. More like a curse.
I strongly agree with Belle's observation. help Depression affects people in so many ways, to call it a gift may be stretching it a bit to far.
