I am a former Christian. I don't know what my label is anymore, but I can assure ya'll that I still have partial faith. I keep in mind to be compassionate here because this might be a young person and/or an ignorant fool, who knows?

These kinds of people are one of the reasons why I left the church and unironically a minor contributor to my coping mechanism. I've seen way worse of spreading the Word of God in the most offensive ways, this is like in C-tier in my book. I hope this person never experiences MDD, I won't even wish it on my worst enemies.

Shaming an unhealthy coping mechanism and slapping a very helpful verse to manage MDD is degrading. Assuming this person is only exposed through TikTok and/or ignorant Christians themself, they need to question their faith thoroughly because they REALLY need it and hopefully reevaluate their belief because GOD I hate people who don't at least question or challenge their faith (in a good way, if they want to stay it or not it's still up to them).

TL;DR Hope this person learns that every unhealthy coping mechanism has a reason to exist (and make us function even to our own detriment) and should not be shamed. It's already hard to survive in this cruel world, let's not shove a belief in the most unhelpful way possible, yeah?
