You have to convince yourself that your manuscript is good enough to be published before you can convince somebody else. Before submitting your work to a publisher, read it critically first, making sure it as good as it can be. Examine your plot with an editor's eye, looking for flaws and continuity blunders.
On the other hand, try not to be too heavy-handed on yourself. Try not to examine your manuscript for flaws when you are tired or feeling low. Your brain may just bring out everything as a load of crap and you may decide your manuscript has to be burnt.
If you know some people you would be comfortable in giving your manuscript to browse through, by all means do so. Just try not give people who will use four-letter words on your work and advise you to see a therapist.
