Hey thanks for the response. Yeah the midwest sounds pretty appealing to me, or at least being able to move to a city/region with kinda sane rent. I can't see myself living in Texas for work and apparently it seems like people who go to UT generally stay in Texas so
Your concerns about depression are definitely not harsh — I share them too. It's tricky because I don't want admissions to look at my grades or whatever and just think that I was off partying or not giving a shit more generally. And as you have alluded to, it had a substantial role in shaping my personal identity, my beliefs and values. So like, it would just feel really weird if I wrote a personal statement that didn't draw upon anything that I feel like I've gained or learned from dealing with depression. I definitely would try real hard to be subtle or positive about it.
And just to clarify it has gotten better, i.e., I don't have suicidal thoughts, but I don't feel comfortable saying that I'm like cured or anything. I just feel better equipped to deal with them if they were to come up, more than willing to get help, etc.
