My good friend 
ReactorGuardian needed some encouragement, as we all do when we are in need, so I wrote this for him today.
Depression hurts, sure, but no bad moods or bad feelings last forever, not if we don't let them.
We aren't going to be happy 100% of the time - if we are, we might fall victim to mania! Sometimes, we can't stop ourselves from getting depressed, and that's okay!
We can't stop the rain, but we can learn to live with it.
We can learn to live with changes in the weather. As long as we put on our raincoats and grab our umbrellas, we can weather the storm and keep on going.
We make friends, we join groups, we meet new people, perhaps when we least expect it. No one ever fights alone - we have groups, friends, and colleagues all within easy reach. In today's world of interconnectivity, friends are at our fingertips!
But, sometimes we wonder "why;" the inevitable endless question. Why was I chosen? Why did I survive? Why did I lose?
Perhaps answering the question isn't the goal - perhaps living with the outcome of the events leading up to the question and coming out a more well-refined and improved person is the goal. Because there isn't always going to be an answer, or an answer that makes sense. But there will be an opportunity to live in the aftermath and make the best use of the opportunity to improve and live one's life.
Instead of asking "why," perhaps it's time we started asking ourselves "why not?" Some situations, like relationships, are two-way streets - you offer what you can contribute, and so does your partner, to make both of your lives better.
So, chin up! Try! Wake up and seize the day! Because YOU have alot to offer - just believe in yourself!

Sometimes I have to remind myself... it's a lie... When someone asks how I'm doing... and I say "I'm okay" ..or they ask if I'm okay after something traumatic and I say "I have to be"
but... I'm NOT okay...
and that...that is okay.
I'm not okay... but I will be okay.
or at least...that is what I tell myself when that voice starts reminding me to be miserable... I am getting better at realizing it, and starting the personal pep talk before I get too far down... it doesn't stop it, but it reminds me that there is more beyond the sadness. and maybe... being sad reminds me that I loved them enough to miss them...friends, family, lovers...
I hope your encouragement helps RG. You're a good friend.

With friends like wolf is?
I wouldn't even dare think where I'd be right now.
Things may seem grim... but we cannot control everything. Choices aren't ours alone. And we just have to accept it. Learn from it... and move on from it.
Wolf is such inspirational person to have around.
