@ASilentObserver Depression has certainly changed my outlook on life. It's like being under a dark cloud, where everything seems grey and pointless. It's like being stuck in a hole and you can't see a way out. It makes it hard to enjoy things that used to bring me happiness, and it steals my energy and motivation. BUT despite all of the negative aspects of depression, I've learned some important lessons. I've learned to appreciate the small things in life, like a beautiful sunset, a warm smile, or the comfort of a loved one's embrace. I've also learned that I'm stronger than I thought I was, and that I have the ability to overcome even the most difficult challenges. I've learned that it's okay to ask for help and that there is hope for a brighter future.
