^"Learned Helplessness"
  I just came across this phrase this morning. It's a concept I
  never heard of before but it makes sense. It can be summed up in
  the phrase, 'What's the point of trying? It's going to fail
  anyway because of me/the economy/dad won't let me/boss will fire
  me/people will laugh at me/I'm stupid" The behavior exists both
  in animals and humans. Learned Helplessness and depression go
  hand in hand. Hope is the cure. I love learning something new!^
