Are you stuck with a painful experience and can't move on? What if depression is a gift and not suffering?At the age of 31, Yong Kang Chan was left with no job, no income, and most important of all, no identity and purpose in life. He thought having a job in an animation studio would lead him to the right career path. But an unexpected turn of shocking events led him to existential crisis and depression.
Those two months of darkness was scary. He couldn't cope with the emotional pain and even contemplated dying. However, he soon realized depression was a spiritual gift and embraced it. He believed he had depression for a reason.
I experienced depression so I could write about it and share the lessons I learned.Depression had taught him important lessons about being a highly sensitive person (HSP) and empath. While overcoming depression, he learned the importance of self-care and setting boundaries with a narcissist. He also learned how to:
  • Let go of the past and his emotional pain
  • Embrace all feelings
  • Reconcile between anger and empathy
  • Deal with anger
  • Love and accept one's unique personality
  • Trust one's intuition and empathic gift
  • Acknowledge shame and be vulnerable
  • Let go of the need for approval
Above all, Yong Kang found new meaning in life and a career as a writer.
The best way to accept a gift is to accept and be thankful. Are you ready to accept this gift?
