Depending on how old you are, you might find yourself forced to looking into yourself. Any life changing event that gives you a jolt, circumstances out of your control or an onset of depression.

I certainly wasn't ready for my bout of depression and wished at the time that I knew myself better Talk therapy helped but it would have been a lot easier if I had examined my own motivations long before that.

Underrated comment. Lot of internal struggles can only be solved by internal examination. It is very difficult and takes tremendous courage, starting first with acknowledging the issue. So many comments claimed to have solved it and yet this is one of the hardest to overcome.
