DBSA Support Group Participant Quotes

“The first place I found shelter from the storm was at my DBSA support group meeting, where I bonded with new, accepting friends and found role models who gave me faith that recovery was possible.”

“The members of my DBSA support group reached out to me and made me realize that I was not alone. If not for the support that I received from this organization, I probably wouldn’t be alive.”

“Thank you so much for being there for me during these dark times. Attending the support group meetings has been a real lifeline for me, and I am so grateful that they are there and available to us.”

“I think the reason I was depressed for so long was that I felt excluded from everything, even my family. Finding people who accept you for who you are — I can’t put a price tag on that.”

“I found my DBSA support group at a very low point in my life. Through this and other support networks, I have gotten my life back together for the most part. I struggle with the illness on a daily basis, but I am functioning and again have hopes, dreams and aspirations.”

“Nothing has a more important impact on the lives of people with mood disorders than our support groups. Meeting others who have gone through the same shadows and come out on the other side is priceless. It restores hope, faith, and sometimes life itself.”
