Maybe suffering from mental illness isn't ALL bad. Maybe it has some valuable upsides. Careful with statements like that. I've pondered quite a bit about this.

Maybe suffering from mental illness isn't ALL bad. Maybe it has some valuable upsides. Careful with statements like that. I've pondered quite a bit about this. Of course I too would like to think that such suffering isn't entirely pointless. But mental illness can be so incredibly devastating, no amount of gained wisdom will compensate for that. Especially if self-harm or suicide is involved, it's even harder to see any potential upsides.
