Depressed and sad people are so distraught that they can't see past the moment or past their pain. It takes time and emotional support to get to a better frame of mind.

Something that I have observed is that the people I see that take the longest or never overcome are the ones that have limited responsibilities or obligations. People that have less to move them forward.

@Smtwn829: Interesting. Maybe it helps to empower oneself with some challenges along the way.
