"As a man with clinical depression and anxiety disorder, I find myself in everyday life smiling to mask my personal mixture of pain from extreme indifference (depression), the overwhelming feeling that everyone is staring and judging me, and that for some reason I have to please everyone (anxiety).
"But, there are some places where I can be where I don't feel this way and my smile is genuine and my anxiety is hushed.
"Quest is one such place.
"I don't feel like i need to put on a fake smile because i am comfortable and having fun.
"I don't feel judged by them, I feel uplifted and bettered by them."
-E.M. (adult student)
