I'm Sad But I'm Trying — Holding Your Ground: Staying When You Want to Quit

Welcome back to I’m Sad But I’m Trying, a podcast about living with, despite, and ultimately past depression. In this chapter, we turn to the courage of staying—the quiet defiance of holding your ground when everything in you wants to retreat. This episode reflects on the strength it takes simply to endure, to remain present in a body and a life that often feel unbearably heavy. It is a reminder that survival itself is an act of resistance, and that choosing to stay is one of the bravest victories you can claim.
