Just to be clear, what I meant was that I actually feel being unwell has been a good thing in some ways.
I'm more aware of some of the ways in which I've kept myself unhappy. I don't necessarily know the way to fix those problems, but being aware of them is the first step. It's made me better at asking for help, is forcing me to open up a little more to the people I need to, given me a couple of interesting challenges and directions I wouldn't have taken had I not been unwell.

Overall, I'm still pretty happy.
