If I'd answered this in the depth of my depression I would've said it was 100% bad. Now I believe there have been some positive outcomes. In part it lead me to my current profession, which I'm dang good at. As others have said, it's helped me be more empathtic. Mainly, everything I've gone through in life lead to the person I am today. I would not have said this in my past, but I like the person I am today. I am someone I would like to know. While I did not enjoy my MH stuff while I was struggling (heck I don't like the struggle now) it all contributed to who I am today. If I didn't face those struggles I wouldn't be who I am today. So, that's a positive.
Good question George. I believe it helps us to stop and consider the positives in life.
