I've always wondered why a lot of people seem to tell those with depression to snap out of it. It happened to me once with my family. Years ago they found out I was secretly very sad and they lectured me for two hours on why I shouldn't be depressed and told me to snap out of it. Then they asked if I felt better, which I obviously didn't. If anything, I felt worse. That's why I can't tell them anything. Same goes for other people I know. I've heard people talk about someone else who is depressed and the person mentioned that the depressed individual needs to snap out of it. I don't understand why some people think it is easy to just snap out of it. Any thoughts? Ever happened to you or someone you know? Just wondered.
