I'm not exactly sure. The deepest slump I've ever been in was when I was sixteen, shortly after losing my virginity in a drunken semi-rape situation.
I felt guilty, my life's plans had been ruined, and my world was upside down. I entered a deep depression, and I wanted to fade away.
After a few weeks, I slowly started to have some thoughts, some feelings. I had been begging for forgiveness in prayer, but I felt nothing. Finally, it came to my mind that maybe... I was okay. That even if my plans had crumbled, even if I was a terrible person... Maybe I could run with that and keep moving. Enjoy myself and try to improve.
That's been my mantra to this day, though sometimes it's hard to stick to. I'm a guilt prone person, and I want to do the right thing.

Sometimes it's my sister, she motivates and helps me. Other times it's me, I think about everything I still want to do and all the dreams I have.
I look to people in my life, historical figures, and characters from shows who have displayed unyielding tenacity, despite having to fight for what they wanted their whole life. Seeing them achieve their goal, inspires me to keep going, knowing that if I'm just as persistent, I'll get there one day.
Also certain songs that center around perseverance keep me going.
As for me I learned to live by a few rules or guidelines as some say. I never give up, I never give in & most of all I keep moving forward no matter what. On the other hand everyone has a happy place & when things get you down you can always go to your happy place. As for me I go to the beach or I connect with nature.

I troll... I troll like I've never trolled before. I set my bait and find victims to troll the shit out of. I look for troll bait and eat it right up and troll the person that thought they were going to get to call me out for being a troll. If there was movies about me, it would be "Troll Hard" 1, 2, & 3. After a side-splitting night of laughter due to the trolling... I slowly start to feel better about it all.
You get fed up of washing blood off things.
at some point you are sitting at the bottom of a dark well looking up at a dim distant light.
The options are sit at the bottom looking up, or start focusing on that light, then stand at the top looking at where you came from.I look back, I review my past...
I have already travelled a long way, there is no coming back.I have to think of what I can achieve if i keep going.
Proving everyone that thought I couldn't do it wrong... it's an oddly motivating feeling!
Life is constantly changing... Even if it changes into something worst I have learned a new way to live... I would get bored if everything was the same all the time.
I just don't die.
a lot of things happened that should have killed me.
2 examples was a truck that blew up next to me and my apartment burning down and only getting out because I kept my door shut for extra privacy.Knowing what happens when I give up keeps me going.
My two best friends because they also know what to say to cheer me up
Physics. If you don't keep going, you're stuck where you are.
Recognise the reality. Ultimately, only you are invested in your goals and betterment. It's your voice that matters most. So trust in yourself and see the detractors for what they are.
