I agree guys, I like to think of it from the point of view that everything will eventually be so much sweeter knowing you went through shit to get somewhere
I still have a long way to go. I still get wild episodes of depression (mine comes in waves, it's not constant), and actually it's kinda been playing up lately, probably linked to losing my Dad and some drama in my life at the moment I really could do without.
However, in terms of my head, things are better than they used to be and I know it can be better still. I have stuff to live for, that's what you have to find. Get something in your life that you can look forward to, however small it might be, that can bring you happiness. Sometimes you have to create it for yourself instead of waiting for it to come to you. It's hard though, I know it is, some days you just don't want to do anything and physically can't. Depression can be as much a physical illness as it is a mental one (disturbed sleep, fatigue, weight gain and loss), people often miss that.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
