I really do believe in doing it yourself.  I think when it comes down to it, no matter what it is, you have to be at peace with it and be proud of it, alone.  Maybe people who comfort you will make you feel more confident, but they just can't do it for you.  So I am a big fan of doing things myself.  Especially depression.  You don't have to tell me what it's like - I get it, depression makes everything seem hopeless.  But you get to a point so low that you just have to turn around and work back up.  I firmly disagree with medication and therapy.  Depression is cyclical, you think your live sucks so it does suck.  You just have to nudge a little bit of positiveness to turn it all around - but no one else can nudge that postive thought into you.  It's all up to you.
