I am not convinced there is a proper method to give advice because we are all complex and respond to different stimuli.
I used to take depression meds and I had a horrible case of self pity...depression and self pity make great bedfellows and feed off of each other...and alot of very well meaning people tried to give me love and support but it was this one dear friend of mine who long ago died of AIDS who came to my rescue...he was blunt and rude and kicked my proverbial ass...and he woke me up. I have always been grateful to him for being brave enough to say what he said to me.
