John Milton said, "The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven."

The worst part of depression for me is knowing there are steps I can take that have worked in the past to help me get through the worst of it, but instead of putting one foot forward remaining inert in the muck of my own making.

I do not know if my mind is capable of conjuring heaven; I do know it has given me a taste of hell.
