Thrillingly, depression doesn’t have to be a sign of weakness- it’s how you deal with it that counts. My therapist told me that Winston Churchill for example, Abraham Lincoln etc suffered depression- yet also managed to achieve great things.
Warming to this theme. I CAN be Chief Exec after all!

Love this:
Essentially, depression can give us new and quite radical insights – it can give us a way of responding effectively to challenges we have in life. In its severe form it is terrible and life-threatening, but for many it is a short-term painful episode that can take you out of a stressful situation for a while. It can help people to find a new way of coping with events or your situation – and give you a new perspective, as well as making you more realistic about your aims.’
