I agree! I was depressed the past few years (it was even medically proven), yet my therapist told me that the only person who can pick myself up is me.
Even though I always have my family and friends around me, telling me that I can do what I have failed to do, it seems like there's a thick wall in my head which blocked the positive thoughts and self confidence.
Thanks for sharing this, for me too, reading at other's story helps me feeling less lonely and encourage me to get back to my better self.
