If someone wrote a similar post to you when you were in that state, telling you to do thjngs differently, would their post have been the catalyst for you to change?

Everyone of us here did what we did....until we didn't...until we changed. Many of us have been stuck. What you said may be true, but I just wonder if a person has to be in a certain mindset to benefit from such challenging words or if they might lead someone to feel more hopeless?
