Sorry to hear about your sister. I agree with you.
While there is a lot of victim mentality in today's society and some mental health issues that can be resolved by getting off your ass and doing something productive, working out, meditating, finding purpose etc, some people do have serious mental health issues and they should not be belittled for this or considered weak.
I lost one of my friends in high school to suicide (this was in the 90s, so long ago I had almost forgotten) and my best friend really struggled with depression for years when we were in our early 20s (again, seems so long ago). I personally had my issues with abusing alcohol while I was going through a tough time in life around a decade ago.
It's hard because some people really do just need a swift kick in the ass (me) to get in a better state of mind while others need a lot more help than that (my best friend) and we shouldn't demean them for that.
Cheers,
GR
Very very well put. Great point that in certain cases a swift kick in the butt can do lot's of good and change people's mindset, and get them out of a depressive state.
In my sister's case it was severe mental issues that a swift kick could simply not fix. Going from top of her honours bachelor of pharmaceuticals program, to a ghost of her former self.
I appreciate the kind words btw, very nice of you.
Cheers,
