2 things come to mind on this topic. I don't know if I would say I enjoy these aspects of it, but I don't know what else to call the feeling.

#1. Creative inspiration. I love art, specifically music. But I don't want to write about pretty little flowers or kittens or happy ****. I find inspiration in the darkness of depression. Seeing the world in a different way like you do when severely depressed can be useful in this sense.

#2. Like I mentioned above, I do enjoy seeing the world in a different way. I don't want to think like other people. Most people bore me. It seems like they never wonder about life the way I do. Is that because of depression? Probably. I like thinking about the world. I like thinking about what it all means...which may be a bad idea when depressed, but it can get interesting. Either way, I do it anyway.

So do I necessarily enjoy it, I don't know. Probably not. As of right now depression has affected, and in some cases ruined, nearly every aspect of my life. It's changed who I am, even when I feel fine because I don't know how to feel fine. But I do see some aspects of it that I don't know if I could be the same person without now that I've experienced them.
Thanks for this!
