People like to say this but there often isn't. Mental health services in this country have been woefully inadequate for decades and, if you've ever been in this situation, you quickly find out how ill-equipped or interested most people you care about are at helping you through your problems. That's not an indictment of anyone either. People are often consumed with their own problems, busy lives, etc., expecting them to take on someone else's is a lot.
That's not to say that people shouldn't still try to reach out, but people often do and quickly find that their support systems aren't as strong as they thought they were.
