Positives of High Functioning Anxiety/Depression: I can complete day-to-day tasks
Negatives of High Functioning Anxiety/Depression: Literally nobody has any sympathy for you when you’re depressed or having panic attacks because you’re so fine most of the time.
you and your words flooded my senses
your sentences left me defenseless
you built me palaces out of paragraphs
you built cathedrals

With 9s we can produce another aesthetically pleasing pattern shown below.
999,999 · 1 = 0,999,999
999,999 · 2 = 1,999,998
999,999 · 3 = 2,999,997
999,999 · 4 = 3,999,996
999,999 · 5 = 4,999,995
999,999 · 6 = 5,999,994
999,999 · 7 = 6,999,993
999,999 · 8 = 7,999,992
999,999 · 9 = 8,999,991
999,999 · 10 = 9,999,990
Here is another number pattern, where the number 9 is multiplied by a number representing the consecutive natural numbers- increasing by 1 each time- and then added to the initial natural numbers consecutively.
0 · 9 + 1 = 1
1 · 9 + 2 = 11
12 · 9 + 3 = 111
123 · 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 · 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 · 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 · 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 · 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 · 9 + 9 = 111111111
We can consider number patterns that can be generated in a similar fashion, yet somewhat in the reverse of the previous one. However, this time the generated number consist of all 8s.
0 · 9 + 8 = 8
9 · 9 + 7 = 88
98 · 9 + 6 = 888
987 · 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 · 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 · 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 · 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 · 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 · 9 + 0 = 888888888
Now that we have introduced the 8s in a rather dramatic fashion, we shall use them as the multiplier with the numbers consisting of increasing natural numbers, and each time adding successive natural numbers. Appreciating the number pattern shown here is more pleasing than trying to explain this phenomenon, which could conceivably detract from its beauty.
1 · 8 + 1 = 9
12 · 8 + 2 = 98
123 · 8 + 3 = 987
1234 · 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 · 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 · 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 · 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 · 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 · 8 + 9 = 987654321
