> This is unlikely to be helpful and may be harmful. Yes I agree, that it can depend on how it's told. But it's also nice to sometime take the bad thoughts and turn it into lemonade. Some people might just be slightly depressed and might exaggerate their situation. I know that I don't really have a severe depression, but in my head I always was very scared about it. I think you must talk about the good things with someone, directly or indirectly, and don't let them drown in their own bad thoughts. People can be self destructive, so it can be nice to point out the good to save them from themselves.
