It ' s like making a statue of Uday . <| sep |> No matter the results , it sends a message to anyone that may consider influencing election results in the future . Personally , I don ' t see how it does any harm , but I ' m not well versed in the process . If a recount has major downsides I ' d be interested to hear them . <| sep |> I look at it this way , I have depression and have been dealing with it for more than a decade . It is an invisible disability , it makes many things in my daily life harder . But , as a result of this dysfunction in my neurochemicals , I have developed many skills and mechanisms to deal . The depression is part of me because it ' s part of how my brain works . Changing it would mean changing me . If I had never been depressed I would be a very different person and I like who I am . I am proud of the skills I ' ve developed . Realizing the ways my disability has benefited me makes dealing with it just a little easier . And honestly , if you think I ' m deluded for thinking being depressed can have benefits then , whatever , that ' s your prerogative . You probably also wouldn ' t listen to me if I said I think you don ' t understand this stuff as well as you think you do and you should definitely keep working on it . It ' s seems like you really want to understand what happened to you and your parent but you decided you had it all figured out a bit too early . There is more to this picture , keep searching .
