While I love the fact that you are able to maintain a positive attitude through all of this, depression isn't something that happens to weak people. Depression can happen for a variety of reasons and none of them involve being weak.

I'm not saying that having a disability is not cause enough for depression. I am saying that mental fortitude does not determine who will and who will not get depression. Just because you are strong minded does not mean you will not get depression. I am sure that having a disability or being physically weak does put you at a higher risk for depression, but actual depression does not stem from weak minded individuals.
