Well, it took me two years to have my first lucid. I remember telling my brother about lucid dreaming and he had one in 3 nights. I told a good friend of mind about it and he had 4 in a row for the next four nights.

Sorry dude, its our mentality. But I found that after 2 years I just kept doubting myself. Maybe we take "dont get too exciting about it or you wont lucid" and turn it into "dont count on it because you'll be disappointed."

Im starting to realized that its all about motivation. At some point I even thought that LDs werent even real. All the information in the world will not make it happen, its only going to be your perception.

Let me ask this: When you walk around through your day, do you pay attention to your surroundings? I found that I dont. I accept my surroundings too much, I never question it. I read BillyBob's post about Dream Yoga, and through practicing that, found myself observing things around me. And not long after, I had a DILD.

Anyway, persitance is key. Depression will kill any chance for it, just keep a positive attitude that it WILL happen, because it WILL. Thats not me being encouraging, thats fact. Its going to happen, sooner or later, whether your expecting it or not.
