    “You seem to have a very healthy way of dealing with your issues.”

    “So it’s like I suspected, my depression isn’t a cognitive dysfunction, but a fully rational reaction to the state of the world?”

      I mean a big portion of the mental health struggle is developing oneself into a thing that can handle more danger and calamity without breaking down.

        This is very true. It takes a strong person to look at the world around them and understand that there are things they simply can’t affect and move forward. We can strive to be better in our own lives and improve the spaces around us. Sometimes (a lot of times) that’s all we can do.
