This is dangerously close to telling people that are depressed go pull themselves up by their boot straps like you did.

Eventually you have to. It sucks, I get it. But if you're not going to do it for yourself, no one else will. If you need help, you have to make that first phone call to the therapist yourself. Otherwise you can easily get stuck in the comfortable spiral of depression.
