There is only so much you can do until it beats you down and you can't get up anymore.
Not to be morbid or anything, but those who can't get up anymore can't get up anymore because they are dead.
Anyone who is still with us has the strength to get up again, they merely have to realize this and use it.

I appreciate your honesty here. I say it sincerely with no sarcasm. How true this statement is.
I've been through enough in life. My life has not been pretty. I'm surely not going to lie to anyone about that.
I personally, mostly, deal with it in one way. With perspective.
If you truly think about the universe, people's problems, including my own, are actually very insignificant. How people allow these petty little things to hurt them, to bother them, to destroy relationships or even prevent them. It's all rather petty and insignificant. When people worry about appearances I honestly have to laugh...
On the larger scale of things, it would not matter if I was a starving child, a suicide bomber, or just an average person. You know what I mean? The universe is so vastly large, these people are all just playing their part in that unimaginably large thing we call the 'universe'.
But that isn't to say that a life is unimportant. We must have context. We must understand perspective, not dismiss it.
In the universe, we can also understand that every single individual is also unique. We are irreplaceable. Even if there are many other universes like our own, we are still very unique in some respect. Just as every particle is important in the universe, if just that one single particle weren't to exist, all time and the universe itself would be different. That particle has effected many things in the past, and will effect many things in the future. One single particle difference and the universe may have even exploded in a completely different way, creating a completely different reality than what we know. Earth would likely not have existed, people as we know them would likely not have existed.
We, as people, have power over much more than just a single particle.
We personally decide the whole fate of the universe, even if we do not know or understand the outcome... You understand that, right?
A few years ago scientists even found a fundamental particle known as the 'Higgs Boson', which, although no one seems to realize this, scientifically proves that all things in the universe are connected by one single underlying fundamental force. That there is something which emanates throughout the entire universe and connects us together. That means we are all connected to each other not just by society and relationships, but by the very nature of existence itself.
This isn't to mean there's some divine force or anything, but it's simply to mean that all things are in this together, that were are 'One', no matter what people think.
Look at these personal problems with such a perspective. Look at the things you worry about. Look at the bigger problems people deal with. Look at life and death itself.
Use perspective to see things clearly and you aren't worried about picking yourself up anymore. You start worrying about picking up others. About picking up everything. The fate of the whole universe depends on it, you know? That you're really the one in control, and have been all along.
I've spent so many years just thinking and meditating...
Look around at this beautiful universe and tell me it isn't worth picking yourself up for every day.
Seeing things in true perspective allows me to just let go of everything. Things are unable to bother me like they used to, like I know they do to many others.
Who needs to lie about the difficulties of life in such circumstances?
Maybe not everyone sees things the way I do, or maybe they don't even know how. But I always know that if someone tries something, and I mean really tries with a real effort and a passion, then they will always succeed at it. They just need to know what it means to really try. They just need to find that strength and courage and passion in themselves. And it's in everyone, I know this.

And here is where I leave you. I have no confidence or self-esteem. I don't love the way I am now and I am not trying to be someone I am not. I even wrote this down in here with fear that some son of a *&#&^ will say something nasty about it.
You probably just need a little perspective in your life. Perhaps finding it the way I did is not for you, but you can find it. Usually it just takes some time and a lot of experience. Maybe some meditation or deep thought. Who knows?
Really just try not to worry so much because, in truth, there is nothing to worry about in the end. Just find the bigger picture for yourself. Find that perspective that allows you to let go. That picture that tells you that you're not alone, you're never alone. That's all you need.
I hope that everyone finds this in their lives.
