Being depressed actually gets rid of a lot of bad emotions

As I was writing the title, I was already thinking about the future point-of-arguments that I was about to make, and disbelieving.

I was thinking of writing this after I got my transfer-or-not knowledge, but I figured I might actually be too depressed then to even write this, quite ironically given the title and topic, which is why I should write it now, and to have it to look at it when I am feeling most down, if I’ll actually be looking at anything, to remember, that not everything is bad (somehow, a miracle). A miracle is what I need actually right now…

I can’t believe I’m about to be arguing for this, but I actually think I have some good points.

1. It gets rid of jealousy (horrible emotion in my opinion, I try to avoid it at all costs, and in order to do so I have some techniques like finding stuff you like in yourself, or just figuring out what you like in general and then doing that/sticking to that and being true to your authentic self because you can’t possibly like yourself if/until you aren’t actually being your full true self). I want to emphasize that this is a BIG ONE.

   1. But being depressed? It just gets rid of this naturally for you because you lose a lot of feeling to care about many things.

   2. You’re obviously not at your best, or why even compare yourself? And there’s probably things to led to this, so like, you’ve had to accept these things along the way.

   3. In a relationship, causes you to not be nasty and jealous. Instead you’re just a lil sad and wondering if you’re even loved.

2. If you feel like you don’t even know why you’re loved, then you’re grateful for everything that happens to you and and all the love you receive, because you don’t even feel like you deserve it in the first place!

3. Because when you’re at rock bottom…there is no way to go except up!

4. Acceptance. I think being sad in a way is a sort of acceptance in itself. For instance, school is what is leading me to feel this way. I’ve had to accept that I’m dumb lol. So yes, I could be jealous of smart people…but like…what’s the point in that? I could just accept that I’m dumb. Eventually, you have to accept things about yourself. I’m talking things you can’t change. If you can change, and you want to change, of course, by all means, do try. But acceptance is a key part of life and on the road to happiness, I believe. Accepting things that you can’t change, and changing things you can and want to change.

5. Increases humility and selflessness (probably by increasing self hate)

6. Going hand in hand with the not feeling like you deserve to be loved, it also gets rid of…(I feel like a salesperson right now):

7. Dramatic-ness (I hate this in people)

8. Emotionality (and this, also I’m just making up words at this point)

9. Irritation and anger and annoyance (as in you’re not being this or appearing this way to other people)

10. You are more prone to understanding people better, the struggles that they go through, and are probably a lot more emotionally intelligent too.

Sounds like it kind-of makes you a better person, and I mean in many aspects this actually makes sense, since going through hardships (which is probably what caused the depression) probably made you a better person, you know?
