I have the opposite problem--instead of getting too much advice, all my friends and family are tired of putting up with me and my over 15 years worth of depression, hospitals, and suicide attempts. They refuse to talk to me about my depression.
I don't need people telling me:
to just change the way I think
to just get over "it"
that it's my fault for having depression because I do not believe in God
that I just want to stay depressed and lonely
or even worse is when family and friends say nothing and believe if they ignore the problems or "attention-getting", the depression will go away
