"He who has a why to live can bear almost any how。" - Frederich Nietzsche




If your mind has ever made you feel like the world would be a better place without you， that is not YOU talking。 That is your mental illness blurring your ability to see that better days are coming， a symptom of being sick。 This book is a survival guide from a teenage girl who felt the heaviness of depression and lived to see the other side。 Every time I felt like letting my mental illness win， I wrote down a reason why I shouldn't， why I needed to stay alive。 These 365 reminders are what helped me tackle suicidal thoughts head on， and now I want to help you do the same。 "Why I Stay" sets your focus on staying to see tomorrow。 You don't always have to feel excited for the future; sometimes it's enough to simply be curious about what's to come。
