I do know what you mean about thinking others may be helped by our words, but no one can help us. I think hypocracy is not the right word. I don't know what is tho.

There is something about depression and losing our connection to others. We don't really feel the love they offer. I think sometimes this is where the idea that depression is "selfish". But it's not so much that we are consumed with ourselves, it's that we can't FEEL the impact of other people. At least that is how it can be with me.

Additionally, for people who have a history of early abuse or neglect, they may struggle with attaching to others, regardless of their depressive state.

Anyhow, yeah...I think I know what you mean.
