Then at least they should start saying "people who illegally immigrate" or something like that, because "illegal immigrants" does make it sound like its the people themselves who are illegal and that rhetoric only serves the far right

Omg just solved all mental illness!
Everyone has different ways of coping but for myself hating my depression would be hating a part of myself and honestly selfhatred does not get you far. I wouldn't say I love my depression either, its just neutral. It is a part of myself no matter how I feel about it and I find that just accepting it helps me to plan around it and work with it. Depression is part of who I am but not all I am, nomatter what.
If your way of thinking has helped you with you own depression that's great, but I hope you can see how calling other peoples conditions "weak, stupid and pitiful" is really mean? If you know the person well and this helps them, you could maybe say it but if you don't, just don't!
And If you want to share your own experience, frame it that way. You could say that seeing depression as something separate from yourself that you have to overcome helped you. Just dont assume its the same for everyone
