I agree with Pig, there is no other choice. One can run away from that adversity but one runs because one obviously wants to keep going.
I just remind myself that it is nothing more than a temporary state of being. Back when I would become depressed or anxious or angered, I just reminded myself that it would end eventually. I like to think my stress has gone down considerably once I adopted that perspective. I have stood by my friends in order for them to realize there is some sort of light at the end of the tunnel, and it isn't a freight train coming their way. Sometimes, one just needs to be reminded that one is not his sickness, or his depression, or his battles.

Of course. How do you want something when it is available to you at all times? And just because we have something does not mean we stop wanting it. Example: do you stop wanting your lover? Of course not, you want them alot!
@ProfessorMayhem-
Brilliant outlook on the universe. Often I contemplate the vastness of both the microscopic and macroscopic worlds we are parts of.
Personally, there are three things that I love to learn about
: physics, psychology, and philosophy. Physics details for us the framework for this universe. Psychology is the study of human thoughts and behaviors and humans are just part of this verse. Philosophy then is the search for how we ought to be not taking into account anything else. When I throw these three topics together, I always get this feeling (shivers down my spine) that the three are intimately interconnected, each is just a different perspective of the same thing. With that in mind, I could never end myself in a time of adversity without giving a good college-try at first figuring this out.
