Reading that, it sounds horrible, I wouldn't wish depress on anyone, I really meant that the empathy is nice, it's good to feel that I'm not alone, depression is a horribly isolating condition.

I have a rare nerve condition called CRPS which started 5 years ago. My best friend also has CRPS but she’s been suffering for the best part of 30 years. She says there’s a small part of her that was relieved she finally had someone to talk to who would understand, though she hated that she felt like that. I don’t blame her, I know she was devastated when I was diagnosed (except that tiny bit of her) but we’re all human and it does help knowing someone understands and empathises.
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
