I was depressed for a while after getting low grades in college but my mom was instrumental in getting me back on my feet.  She kept assuring me that grades are all not the only thing that defines you....there are so many skills that can be acquired through hard work.  It did take some time for me to come back to normal but fortunately I did.

Glad that you got over your depression and are back to normal. Our immediate family members can be the most supporting people in such times.
