Living... is it worth it?

As one who suffers from depression and anxiety I often find myself going into a dark place. Most people who look at my life would not understand how someone in my circumstances feels this way. Not by any means am I wealthy or rich. I work as a network administrator for a school district making less than the average salary of a new teacher. My wife is a teacher and makes about the same as I do. We are not by any means struggling and live within our means.

With that being said I often find it hard to wake up in the mornings. To get out of bed is often a chore that takes an hour longer than it should. For most people contemplating life is not something that happens on a daily basis let alone all day long. There are times when life seems to be to much and there is no end to it all. After many years of therapy I have become content with my circumstances as a living breathing human. I have found that through my relationship with with my wife, children and God I have been able to overcome and understand my existence. I believe that my existence has moved from being self center to a servant: I serve my community, I serve my family, I serve my God.

To answer the question in the title. Yes, living is worth it as long as you make it worth it. If all you do is whine and complain about your status in life and do nothing to change it maybe its not for you. However, with help from you God, family and a good therapist you may just find what makes you happy and find the courage to peruse it.
