How To Be Emotionally Strong

I see good intention in this blog post, but this may prove useless to people who've read these same words and heard the same things, such as those diagnosed with mood disorders. It's like when a person rants to a friend - deep-down they do it to receive validation for the emotions their feeling, not tips and/or feedback. First thing a person struggling with depression might feel when reading an article like this is - well, they'd probably stop reading after the 1st tip. Another, more important, thing to expect is permanent image of whoever created that post as un-empathetic.

Sorry if this came off offensively - I only mean to point something out that deeply triggered me and I'm sure may have triggered others. Saw it in my inbox for IH notifications and had an urge to respond.

Say something nice to Luisperwira…
