I said depression is narcissistic, not those with depression. That's a damn big distinction.

In fact I am diagnosed with depression myself, have had suicidal ideation, and still relapse.

When I look back at my darkest times I think volunteering kept me alive. I don't know whats harmful about suggesting that. The big D saps the life out of you, working with others who have their struggles too gives a closed-off negative feedback looped mind just a hint of perspective.

Everyone's depression is different, which is why I ended my comment with the fact that some people's condition doesn't allow them the luxury to get out of bed.
