What people are trying to tell you is that in the case of clinical depression there isn't an easy fix because it's not caused by anything external.

I have a very good support system in my life. If it was possible for a friend to come along and just fix it then I wouldn't have depression.

You think they don't ask themselves that question all day, every day?

You are very, very extremely inexperienced in this area, as anyone who deals with or has someone in their close family that deals with serious, life-threatening depression will tell you.

And that's okay!

I would encourage you to look at the number of comments from different people who have a history of dealing with this kind of thing for a long time.
