5 Reasons To Live
Hi, everyone!
When I am feeling really overwhelmed with the feelings of depression, I like to think of 5 reasons for me to keep fighting the good fight and for me to live. I challenge you to do the same!
If you can't think of 5, that's okay! Can only think of 3? That's fine! 1? It's something.
I'll start!
Otter's 5 Reasons To Live (1-25-2016)
1.) I dont want to be another statistic.
2.) The sound of my partners laugh.
3.) The day my preferred name becomes my legal name.
4.) Christmas in Newfoundland.
5.) I want to look back on my life in 5 years and feel oh so grateful that I did not give up.
@HelpfulOtter
They all seem like wonderful reasons, here are a few more for you to consider 🙂
1, YOU are strong and couragous
2, YOU are beautiful inside and out
3, YOU are positive and confident
4, YOU have someone to love, and someone to love YOU for YOU
5, YOU make people proud of you
Stay strong my dear friend 🙂
Yours are amazing.
Mine are:
1. Finishing college
2. My aunt's wedding and hopefully the day she leaves this house.
3. Driving
4. Moving out
5. Get the job in Belgium
@enigmaticSunshine79 ooh, all those reasons sound awesome. I'm happy you were able to find reasons to get through today! There is always light at the end of the tunnel, stay lovely! ❤
1)Finishing college
2)Moving to other country
3)Getting a job
@minjussi ooh, motivation is AWESOME and it does provide reasons to get through the day when you think about getting a job, moving out, etc. Wish you all the best with life :) ❤
Family, Love, Happiness, Relationships, Adventure

none
@HSolo08 hey, its okay to feel this way from time to time ❤ I hope you find the strength in you to recover, I know you've got it in you to do it! -hugs-
Loving this thread, @HelpfulOtter, like I'm seriously head over heels in love with the idea of this, I adore it so so so much (you beautiful minded person you) so, here are my five reasons:
➊ because I'm worth it. -insert joke about L'Oreal- no, seriously, this took me so long to realise but its true! ❤
➋ The people I love and care about are rooting for me!
➌ Success is the best revenge, and maan am I ready to prove people wrong!
➍ Because I have pudding setting in the fridge. If I live through today and wake up tommorow my pudding will be set and ready to eat. Im dead serious, this is one if my reasons for living today xD
➎ cause I want to see myself recover!
Sending everyone free bear hugs, I know you all have it in you to reach recovery :) once again, loving this amazing thread!
The end result is, unfortunately, I have no good reasons.
Hi, @poisontongue! I don't think the reasons should be good. They should be yours. For example, that you don't want to succumb to the society image of hopeless martyr. Or that you want to enjoy anime and your favourite music.
@Celaeno I don't think I have even bad reasons, let alone enough to fill the list :p
@HelpfulOtter, that's a great idea for a thread, in my humble opinion. My reasons would be:
@Celaeno
Those seem great reasons to me!
1. I love my family and they love me, I would hate to know they're hurting.
2. I don't think I could handle knowing I would miss so many new books and songs.
3. We have a new puppy named Toby. If I don't get to see that mischievous ball of excitement grow up I'm going to be irritated in the afterlife, or whatever awaits me.
4. I wont let myself lose to my own mind.
5. I have not been to Japan yet, and there is no way I'm gonna go without leaving the country at least once.
By the way, thanks for this thread. I felt happier after writing this. 
@Maxximum3
Those seem great reasons to me, Maxximum!
Thank you for sharing your inspiring words!
1. Life is beautiful
2. My family loves me very much
3. I have debts to pay back
4. I haven't asked for forgiveness
5. I haven't given my best yet.
I couldn't agree with you more.
@anenigma
I like your reasons to live. I hope you keep living for all those and more :)
