Like Bloth says, often it's the little pleasures that can bring your mind out of the depths. Some good home cooked food and exercise does wonders for me. The most important though is being productive. If I'm not productive I get depressed.
Cory life is a burden itself and our frail bodies are concrete stones. You're not alone in this. But the things you have done, and that you can do in future... they all made lives better to lots of us. And that's should be one reason not to give up ever.Corylea said:I have several different chronic illnesses that limit my life drastically, and sometimes the difference between what I long to do and what I'm physically capable of doing is too much to bear. But a new day brings new hope.

KnightofPhoenix said:As an existential nihilist, I too believe that there is no reason or purpose behind our existence. That we as a species and as individuals are essentially a product of probability and chance. Or that if there is a reason or purpose behind our existence, we are too under-equipped to ever find out, which is ultimately the same thing for all intents and purposes.
And I find that very empowering. We get to decide the reason and purpose of our own existence.
