It's nice that everyone rallied for this person in an effort to make them feel better.
That's all you can do.
To then say,'hey, we tried to help but now you should stop wallowing in it', is, in my view, worse then saying anything in the first place.
It's not that easy to climb out of depression.
If it sounds like, poor me poor me, that's because that's exactly what it is.
It's the same excruciating mental pain that someone feels when they lose a loved one, but usually without as good a reason.
It only makes it worse to know that and still not be able to get a handle on it.
I'm not saying that what people have said is wrong, just that it doesn't help.
My point is, let's just try to help people in mental crisis and if we don't understand it or they annoy us, just leave them alone altogether.
Unless of course they start doing crazy shit like TC. :-)
