JIMMY: I'm supposed to be able to deal with anything, like the old commissioner said, 'Just be able to suck it up. And just keep going.' It's not that easy. If you tried to, it's just gonna come back up again and again and again.

Announcer: It takes courage to ask for help. For information, call the National Institute of Mental Health at 1-866-227-NIMH.
