Does this sentence sound natural to you?
I came across this sentence from a movie: "You pick me up out of my doldrums". I looked up in the dictionary the word "doldrums", I could work out its meaning that "you raise me up, you inspired me". But does this sentence sound natural to you? I searched it on Google and it seems that there aren't many people say it.
Thank you.
