Other than that, I think it's a completely insensitive and arrogant thing to do. With institutions popping up everywhere these days to deal with suicide and depression, as well as the swaths of information already available - I can not understand why a person would continue such a destructive downwards spiral. The notion that 'no one understands my suffering' is utter bullshit - there are plenty of people who have, and are in your situation.

Unfortunately, telling that to a depressed person makes absolutely no impact.
1. YOU'RE INSENSITIVE!
2. GET HELP!
3. PEOPLE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH! WHAT MAKES YOU SPECIAL? GET OVER YOURSELF!
It's not nearly as simple as a lot of people would believe it to be. Depression can leave you completely bed-ridden and immobile, just fillin' on up with self-loathing. Logic doesn't enter the equation after a certain point. It's definitely a frustrating thing to deal with as a friend or significant other, but that sort of emotional coldness helps nothing.
Blah blah blah
