Sometimes in my deep depressions, this is one of the few things I have to hold onto. More often than not, I swing from depression into mania and not the other way around, so I think to myself, "if I end it now, I'll miss out on a really good hypomania!" I do reach a point where I even lose sight of that though, and that's when I'm really in trouble.
