I try because, somewhere a little piece of me must know that I deserve better than this.

I try because it broke my heart when my ex-girlfriend cried after she found out about the SI...I can never be the reason she cry's like that again.

I try because, my little sister needs me.

right now, i'm trying because i was reminded by someone how much things got better for them after years of hanging on & surviving, and that has given me some hope & optimism for the future--i admire where they are at now so much, i had forgotten how long it took for them to get there.

....& i want to get there, too, so i try.

-My girlfriend gives me hope and reasons not to give up, even when it seems impossible to carry on.
- The fact that I know things can be better than this if I just keep holding on.
- Believing that there is always hope

I try because my little brother needs me (much as he hates to admit it),
I try because my friends love me,
and I try because there are a lot of younger people in my life who love me, and I want to be a better influence and example for them.

I'm trying now because I think I've realised there's actually something worth trying for.

I try for my few hours per week, for my cycles home with my friends, for listening to fantastic music, and for the occasional times that just make me glow

The fact that if I keep trying there MAYBE something at the end but if I don't try there will NEVER be anything at the end, so why not give it a shot eh?

I try for my God, my boyfriend, and my best friend, who all celebrate my victories and help pick me up when I fall. I try because I am working to accept the truth, deep down, that I am someone who is lovable and worth protecting.

We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving… We drink coffee, a lot of it. We are on birth control, Prozac, and multivitamins… We are relentless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We are the daughters of the feminists who said, “You can be anything,” and we heard, “You have to be everything." - Courtney Martin.

For honey, for Mom, for myself. Because if I help myself and get better then I can help others with their lives, be there for the people I love, instead of being so focused on me all the time.

For all the people who care. I try because I know they believe in me and they want me to and know I can fly.

I try because I see my mother struggle to live life every day and I don't want to end up like her.
In the deepest, darkest hour of the night, admit to yourself that you would die if you were forbidden to write. And ask yourself, the answer, where your heart spreads it roots to the deepest part, Must I write?
If there were no rewards to reap
I certainly would have walked away by now...
...and I still may.

I try because my son deserves so much better than this
I try because I remember watching my mom struggle and how hard it was and I don't want him to do the same with me
I try because deep down I want to be better

I try because when I’m depressed because I know that the episode will pass in time.

I try because I have not gotten around to breaking the windows in my house with my huge bass speakers.

I try because I haven’t finished my book. No, not the last one…this one. And the next.

I try because there will always be the better half of my life waiting just around the corner.

I try because I want to see my favorite bands in concert one more time.

I try because if I don’t then I’ll lose my children, and that’s just not cool.

I try in college because if I don’t then I don’t have insurance, which is unacceptable because meds and treatment are way too expensive.

I try because people will be sad after I’m gone, and I’ll be sad when they’re gone, too.

I try because sadness is only temporary.
Searching my way to perplexion

The Challenge

"Why are you so negative?"
"Because I'm unhappy."
"And whose fault is that?"
"Right now?"
