You worded everything in absolutes. If you ask people to take the strongest interpretation of that, you're asking them to just concede that you're right.
I think you actually seem to get it that there's something dangerous about identifying with the problem (e.g. I am depressed) but you're jumping to conclusions about agency from there. No one who replied wanted to make that leap, nor did you offer any compelling reason to do so.
