    Only second hand. But once you get really scared a good friend will kill himself, yeah, you appreciate not only your own health but the world around you in a completely different light.

      Let me give you a tip, telling people with depression to essentially, “just stop being sad, guys!” is likely just going to get people to hate you.

        Another tip, not everyone has clinical depression. It’s actually reasonably rare. People complaining about a lack of good thrift stores are just as likely, if not more so, to be complaining.

        You are conflating being sad or emo with being depressed, and having actually stayed up all night being worried for someone who was actually depressed, they are worlds apart.
