^^^ This.
Also, when people are in crisis whether depressed or manic their posts are these giant, long posts to get it all out. Catharsis, if you will.
I notice manic people tend to forget about paragraphs. It's just a wall of words often. Or you get the person who has to comment on everything, and tends to be an "expert" (I think I'm guilty of this one.
)
I notice people when they are depressed might disappear or just post little posts.
Your ex's statement reminds me of the lady who lost all her benefits because she posted a picture of herself smiling at her birthday party on Facebook, so that proved she wasn't depressed. Depression isn't always 24 hours 7 days a week!
