So, I just mentioned in a reply that whenever I am manic, I look back on my depressive episodes with nostalgia, not "thank goodness that ended". Anyone else do this? It doesn't bother me, I don't know if it should or not. And I know I don't want to feel like that ever again, but I can't help but look at it like that.

Like, when I had bad postpartum depression with my first son, I look at it now as an experience that I'm glad I had. I look at the feelings with nurturing and love, not pain and anguish.

Does that mean something good? Am I normal? Does anyone else know what I'm rambling about haha?
