I don't know if I may misunderstand you, but from personal experience this approach is quite risky, all these little "get up" fights will compound, wear you off and lead to a hard collapse in the end, small patching will just prolong the crash. It's important to see (with help) when the "fight" is just not worth it anymore and sometimes pulling the emergency break is the best thing to do, jeahh you'll may hurt/disappoint others when doing so, but for the sake of your own health and sanity this is quite often the better choice (imho).
