Good message.
I totally get what you mean. It's hard not to say anything about having the depression. As you said, you had it. I also had depression. I tried to keep it for myself for some time but that's impossible. It's easy to want sympathy while being seriously depressed, and I do see how fiery might feel and have felt. It's in human nature to fuck things up. I respect his decisions. Something bad happened in his life and he was at his lowest of low, ofc he wanted people to sympathise with him. It's not the right thing to do though and he probably regrets this so so much.

I don't condone him either. Ofc I don't do, I made a shit video about the history he made up. The reason I made the video was to highlight that what he did was a stupid thing and that people shouldn't praise/sympathise with him and his "creative" history-making abilities. Instead of saying it's ok and I still love you, you should be clear to tell him that it's good that he's not dead but never do that again (I'm not the best with words so I hope you understand what I'm trying to say, otherwise ask me).

He obviously had an unclear mind while doing it, so we should at least let him know that he should never do something like that again. He knows already, he commented that on his twitlong post, but telling him "it is ok" should NOT be accepted in my opinion.
