Has anyone ever thought of their particular mental issue as having a spiritual purpose?

What a wonderful question Jooker. Thanks for asking it.
I have always thought that any issue we have in our lives gives us reason to think spiritually as to the reasons we have to go through it. Whether it be a mental illness or a physical illness or even just what they call "hard luck" that falls upon us.....there is a connection.
It's very difficult most times to "see" that during the time of our suffering, there is a reason. I find the longer I live, the more I learn, and the more I look back and say, "Oh wow, now I understand why I had to go through that!" Sometimes its only months after a situation, other times it's many years before I see the correlation between the suffering, the spirituality and the understanding.
Thanks for giving us something really great to think about!
