That's not the way things work. What about people like me who have nobody to reach out to? No friends no family just yourself and your dark thoughts to keep you company. I suffer greatly with depression and this comic is just another generic people love you your awesome c**p that doesn't really do anything for anyone.

I'm sure the intent is good, and it does touch my heart as a person with depression. But it' seems a bit simplistic and naive to me. Especially the part about how the world is just waiting to give us a hand. In reality, people with depression are often on the receiving end of judgement and compassion fatigue. That's part of what makes is isolating.
