For those of you who deal with depression, what is it that keeps you going?
For me, I know that no matter what, I can't let it keep me from doing the things I have to do in order to achieve my goals.

I’ve considered my options, to stop existing or to continue to exist. If I’m gone, it’s a problem for the people I leave behind. That’s never an option for me. If I continue to exist in a pathetic state, my life is just going to get harder.
I’ve decided to do what I can to lessen the burdens of life. I can’t promise that I’ll do my best, because my feelings sometimes get in the way. I do what I can to get through life, doing the minimum damage to others and to myself.
Also, I do have hopes for myself. I haven’t built my own family yet, but I believe I can create my own little tribe someday. I’ll keep going to see this through.
