Dragging myself out of a ten-year+ depression with virtually zero direct support from family and no funds for professional help.
I read and read and read until I found out what was up. Meantime I relied on company of friends from time to time and doused my emotions by escaping into the fantasy of films.
I never lost my faith throughout and if anything that's what stopped me from suicide when it got that bad.
Eventually I started being able to see a little good in the world, and having my faith in humanity restored. Picked myself up, started a career and did well till poor health caught up with me. Never slipped back too far though, so, yeah... Sorry to go on.
