He was sleeping in my room. Then he didn\u2019t have an apartment. So he was just shuffling people\u2019s houses. He was in my room one night and was like how long does he wanna do this. I was cheering him up. I didn\u2019t know that my own depression was coming.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThat\u2019s why I always say it is easier to give opinions when you are not in someone\u2019s shoes.
