Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
"Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude."

I think that the right mental attitude is an easy thing to say if you've never had depression. I wish I could sustain the right mental attitude, but I just can't.
I agree with Juice though - you can sustain your attitude sometimes.
-- Ken Roberts
I do appreciate the intent of the Jefferson quote, I just don't think it applies to me.
