I am noticing more and more that the people here at DS are some of the most creative people I have ever encountered. Everyone is so intune to feelings and insights and have such beautiful, spiritual, creative ways of expressing themselves be it through poetry (we have so many poets!), or even just their funny dancing pictures. I find this very uplifting and choose to embrace it as a positive side of depression.

" You know, I see that all the time on here also. I can even go out of my depression at times when I read others post. Today is not a good day for me but just by coming on here and reading or responding to my messages it makes me feel better just knowing that I am not alone..as always..thanks to DS and the great people here. We all are very creative beings and I think that is the reason why we find our depression so grulying because we want more out of life and sometimes it is hard to obtain either through our own self pitty or by others that do not think before they speak.
