Holy shit that is such a stupid and harmful mindset. "If I'm mean and curt with this person they'll realize how silly depression is and simply stop being depressed." That's not how it works... at all
I’m just saying it worked for me several times. There’s a reason Jordan Peterson types are popular, someone telling you to stop feeing sorry for yourself and take some damn responsibility can be quite the wake up call.

If that's all it takes to give you a "wake up call" then I don't think what you're describing is depression
I mean for me the “wake up call” was “yeah I do need fucking help don’t I”
