Chronic depression survivor since 1989 here. If you are not doing well, looking for a reason to live might be way to big of an ask. Instead try finding a reason to not die. This is not wordplay or trying to be cute for the internet. Sometimes you just need an excuse, any excuse, to keep going. It is all about surviving the unbearable moment.
Spite has kept me alive more than once.
It's not good, but one takes what one can get in those moments.
