Hello everyone, I was just wondering has depression made you a better person. Do you learn anything positive from it? When you have been through a very tough time theres a saying that: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. One thing about having depression is that I am more aware of people mental health problems, the smiles behind the pain etc... I hate to say this but I think it has made me self absorbed and I don't want to be like that. I suppose I had to be for so long having very bad thoughts but maybe everyting is about me now. Am I turning into a narcisstic? Of course I love my kids and take real good care of them but I am still very wrapped up in ME! Any thoughts?
