You should always fight to live don’t let sadness and sorrow get you down. Taking one step forward can be agony for anyone living with depression .

Always fight to live “When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.” Kahlil Gibran.

The ancient Greeks believed that the worst thing they let out of Pandora’s Box was hope. Hope gave them reason to continue living, despite the troubles they were now facing after opening that box. Hope gave them something to hold onto, something to look forward to, something to live for. That’s why they felt it was the worst thing, without it; maybe they wouldn’t have felt the pain.

What’s so striking about the ancient Greek mythology is that we see, really, there would be no growth without the hard things. Life’s paradoxes and ironies are funny that way. It seems sometimes that weathering the storm is just about the only way to get through it. But I do want to tell you, that while it may not be the greatest feeling, you will get through it, and you can be a changed person. Your teenage years are amazing, even when they’re not. They’re filled with new things, changes, excitement, exhilarating exploration. They’re a gift to you. They should be your gift to you.
- Here are a few quick thoughts on how to keep going, even when everything else drags you down.
Think of how well developed and strong you will be when it’s all over
This is not just a cliché. It’s the rock-solid truth. Your strength is built on part sadness and part compassion. From the moment we open our eyes, we are given the burden to feel. Or the blessing, whichever way you see it. It doesn’t mean that you won’t feel what you feel. What it means is that if you put it into perspective, you can use what you feel to be a stronger, better and wonderful human being.

- Think of all the good you can do, because of all the bad you’ve experienced
No one should have to experience anything that’s not good for them. No one; but life is not really wired that way, yet. I’m sure as a society we will get there someday, but for now, we carry our emotions like champions. If you consider what good you can achieve because you’ve experienced more than someone else, it will help you to be more driven to make a change in someone’s life, thereby making a change in your own.

Imagine someone comes to you for help, now you can help that person because you understand pain and what you have gain through personal ordeal and survive. Have you ever started a deep or personal conversation with someone who just doesn’t understand you? It left you feeling a little empty I’m sure. That’s not the fault of anyone, but it’s likely that the person cannot relate to your pain. You have the immense and amazing ability to relate to other teenagers who are going through what they’re going through, be it depression, anxiety or any other physical or emotional problems.

Aways fight to live
It may not be a proverb, but just mull over the next sentence for a while. Carry it with you whenever you feel a little lost. The lost traveler will find many amazing and undiscovered secrets while looking for a way out of the jungle. Remember that life is not just a destination to reach; it’s a journey that you get to take with many different people, and have many different experiences. Some of which you won’t like, but you can rise up out of the ashes of your heart. This is truth.
I have never known anyone personally who struggled with depression so I can only imagine how hard those feelings of sadness must be to deal with.
Thank you for this. Some days it is really hard for me to just get out of the fog. I lost my husband 20 months ago. We’d been married almost 22 years. It is not easy, but thanks to my kids and my faith I keep going.
Christy Maurer, I am sorry for your loss. It’s comforting to know that your kids are there for you. This is not easy …Sadness can pull us deep in despair. We have to have hope.
This is a great post. So true, I’ve been through so much in my life. Death of my only parent who was in my life when I was 16, baby at 17, kicked out of my brothers house at 18 with a new baby, and a billion other things that are just horrific in between and I’m still going strong. I’ve never been one to let the bad times over rule the good, but I know so many who struggle.
Jeanine, Moving forward is thinking positive great job.
Such a great mindset to have, although sadness and depression are hard to manage at times… Thanks for the inspiration!
I agree with having hope. This is important because this will hep us recover from sadness and sorrow.
This is really good advice and something to keep in mind. You never know what people are going through, but anytime you can help foster hope it’s a good thing. Sometimes all people need is hope – and sometimes that can make all of the difference.
The depression I suffered from for over a decade haunts me to this day. I reach out when I can to whomever I can… because one voice makes all the difference in the world.
Sometimes life drags you down, but it’s only you who can pull yourself out of it!
This is certainly a good message to pass along. No one should have to live life sad.
I love that posts like this encourage others to think. I love too that they could encourage them to reach out.
I think that it’s important to know that saddess is part of life. It can lead to unexpected happiness.
It can be a hard situation for people to deal with. It is important to find the bright light in every situation.
