It's not really a trolling, there's really idiots who say his precise shit. Seen so many of them over the years when my wife mentions her depression issues to random folks.
Hell, right now dealing with her freaking out because my dad just got moved to a 24/7 Care Center for his Parkinson's last night, something we've been discussing and working through/planning for for about six weeks since we spent three days with my parents and saw first hand how he was progressing - but yet she's completely bowled over by it and dealing with seriously deep depression issues over it (although better than many times right now - she only almost alienated half her new friends down here rather than trying something of Jerle's flavor).
No amount of preparation or ignoring works for a depressive type - frankly looking at my wife and I (we spend so many hours together each day we're codependent really) - I'd say that's the biggest thing with depression is you find stupid things to latch onto and you can't drop them no matter what. I've got like three insecurities that are hard to let go of (but I've actually started to make progress on being in the new environment - people seem far less critical down here) but I'm sure she's over a hundred different insecurities with life - there's a daily crisis and a constant sense of panic with her.
