Perhaps it would be helpful for people to consider that clinical depression, which this girl certainly seems to be struggling with, is a medical illness and not a character flaw. Medication is only part of the treatment, access to counselling is just as important. Many people are reluctant to admit that they have an issue with this because they veiw themselves as failed or weak willed people for having it, which only furthers the depression. I found it disconcerting that the posters here seem to be making fun of this girl's speech or are disgusted with her for being depressed and apparently have more concern and compassion for the finish fo a car than their fellow human beings. But, of course, I am a critical care nurse....I have a professional committment to try and restore as much good health to my fellow human beings as possible when I can.
