Depression

 If you have something like clinical depression, what can be learned from this?  Acceptance is one thing.  Don't beat yourself up for failing to be better, whatever you think better is.  And you can learn humility.  You are not perfect but that only makes you a human being.  Others have issues you do not have, so gratitude can be something learned.  And maybe there will be a time when your knowledge about clinical depression might help someone else who is just coming to grips with it, or is suicidal about what seems like a dead end to them.  You may be the bearer of hope.  We can all work with what we have and what we don't have.
