I think Zinco is right. I don't read the success stories often - mostly because I'm afraid to, I do admit - but I have frequented the depression board for the past three years (off and on, as I'm a 'rolling stone' and come and go as I please) and have found that most people here are very understanding, and don't have the 'snap out of it' mentality. I'm sure there may be exceptions, but even people with depression are individuals and have very different personalities.

I do hope you come back. I have found PC to be, perhaps, the most helpful support forum I'm on of all the ones I've joined (and that's quite a bit). I've stuck around it the longest for a reason, after all.
