[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, OP. I hope your niece feels better soon. Since mental illness isn't something you are familiar with or comfortable talking about, try this thought experiment before you say or write something: insert the disease cancer in for depression, and see if your thought is still okay to say out loud. "Its really time you got over your cancer." Nope, not okay. "We are tough love people in my family, no one has cancer." Nope. "I love you, and hope I can help you through the cancer." Yup. [/quote]
