About This Quote
Most people would agree that people who are depressed feel very lonely. They don't want to be around anyone. They don't want to talk to someone new. That is a very lonely place to be, and a place that most of us would not choose to be in.
However, we have a lot of power as individuals, and we can choose to have a friend who will make us laugh, or help us with our problems, or just give us a reassuring hug when we need it. If we have a friend like that, we might not need a therapist as much as we need someone to be silly with from time to time.
