I fully agree. Hitting rock bottom (in a given situation) can make one realize that it isn't that bad. It's still not perfect; e.g. the anxiety over being fire

I fully agree. Hitting rock bottom (in a given situation) can make one realize that it isn't that bad. It's still not perfect; e.g. the anxiety over being fired can be overwhelming even if you know that it's not the end of the world, and that the state of anxiety is worse than the state of not being at that job anymore. Depression and anxiety go hand in hand though, so exposure helping anxiety can have a positive effect on depression.
