The problem is that little things open the door to bigger, nastier things, and before you know it you simply can't face it any longer; before you know it you are fighting for a reason to stay alive. Going it alone has you reliant on favours a lot, which you don't necessarily feel you deserve depending upon how the problem is manipulating you.
Mr B, I hope my facetious comment on your "comeback" thread didn't make you feel even worse about your injuries. We have all done silly things on training runs: try not to think about what you did, and concentrate on how you are going to get better. Can you still do cycling or some other form of exercise to generate some endorphins?
And don't be shy of asking for help, from your friends, the NHS or anyone else.
