Esus, let me say now, while I still hold you in the highest respect for your opinion, that was possibly the worst thing I have ever heard.
People don't wake up and say, "Hey, I guess I'll try being depressed for a while."
Something happens that puts them in that mindframe. They can not control what makes them depressed. Sure, they can fake happiness for a while, but that is not the same as making yourself get over depression.
And don't dare say that people who are depressed should do you a favor and kill themselves. I knew a person once who thought everyone wanted him dead, and it took a lot of talking and a lot of patience to get him to back off the ledge.
Have some respect; people go through some tough shit now and then.
