(Anonymous) 2012-01-21 02:20 am (UTC)(link)As somebody who's been in that hole twice, there is absolutely nothing logical about depression. Nobody who knows what it's truly like ever wants to be in that position. Even if your life is otherwise going well, you feel so hopeless and apathetic that some days just moving around is a massive accomplishment, and you lose interest in everything, even things you know you used to love, and should love right now. Something holding your interest and motivating you to continue to watch/read/play/listen to it can be nothing short of a miracle. Anything that's even a tiny glimmer of hope, you cling to like your life depends on it, because some days, your life does depend on it. It's not about fandom being better than living, it's a sign that there might be a way back to regaining control of your life, and you're going to cling to it because it's hope when you've given up on ever having hope again.
So to answer your question of "was it even worth it," yes. It was completely worth it. Because that little glimmer of hope showed me that there might just be a way out of that hole I was trapped in. And there was. When I look back it does feel a little silly, thinking that a video game saved me, but you know what? It was the nudge I needed to try to get my life back on track. And I wouldn't trade that for anything.
