Simus thanks for such an articulate and accurate response to this post. Many people who suffer depression develop a deeper love and compassion for others because of it (or in spite of it)
PsychoSage a comment like "If you hate yourself you hate everyone" is a sweeping generalization and most definitely no bottom line. Why would you think what is true for *you* should be projected onto everyone?
When someone is at the end of their rope I don't think they need to be "shocked" into seeing anything.
There are no shortage of people who get off on "Telling it like it is" (but really isn't) and it has most likely already been done ad nauseum by some family member, self righteous neighbor or another aquaintance who doesn't grasp the depth and reality of depression.
