Let's turn this into a "reasons to go on" thread: music, jokes, comforting thoughts, deep wisdom, anything that will always keep us going, taking depression in one's stride...

I'll start: do you know BP stands for Be Persistent, Passionate and Patient.

Just go on: you have always done it up to now! You are a natural in persistence! Buckle down!

You are exceptionally passionate: don't mind what others think, but enjoy! Don't ever feel guilty for finding meaning in everything! Just be careful you might make mistakes, go too far. High flyers may fall. It happens. Be humble. Move on.

Take time to recharge: don't see depression as needless self-pity, but as constructive self-reflection and (physical) recuperation. Just wait and you are good to go! Be patient.
