Your impression of how depression works is incredibly harmful, please stop repeating it. It's not a "just feeling sad for x amount of time" and it's not hopelessness. It's very frustrating as someone who is suffering from depression/suicidal thoughts to finally have the courage to talk to someone about this, only to be told to cheer up. Or go outside more! Or whatever.

Your statements just help perpetuate those types of responses.
