Hmm. Well I do see your point, however I am not laughing at her. I found the notion of completing a 100mile sprint only to drop at the 1meter mark amusing, I apologize if that was interpreted as mockery.
I don't mock people with depression. I know what it feels like to be in that pit.
However I don't get this "there, there" attitude that people seem to offer whenever depression is found. Helping the person come to terms with it, to understand it and to find ways of controlling it- that is what she needs. If I could offer it in person I would in a heartbeat!
If one want's to stop going outside because you keep getting sunburned, you don't conjure up a ferocious dog image to scare yourself inside.. that's taking a step in the wrong direction! You find reasons to stay inside for the moment. Like hobbies.. you see what I mean?
I also don't think crying on her boyfriends shoulder is the right response, it will cause more harm than good in the long run. If you need support that is fine, but the things you tackle yourself are what make us who we are. Don't ever give that up!
OK if you weren't laughing what is this
' HAHAHAHA. So you passed all that nonsense and then at the VERY end you said "Hey, guys. I'm not going to do it because i'm scared of going someplace worse!"
And not everyone can deal with it alone, if you can great........but some people really do need support.
