Stephen Fry Twitter - Depression

So Mr Fry is without doubt a very nice man, thoughtful at times, intelligent, sometimes witty although often over complicates his humour and doesn't just say something instinctive so it feels contrived but certainly reasonably witty yet he is annoying... why?

He has announced to the world he suffers from bi-polar, he has done shows about depression does that truly really help anyone. It is a problem that people have, that is difficult and challenging as he mentioned Churchill had it but didn't he get on with life. He didn't tell people, is it right that we put everything in front of people, doesn't that tend to make us feel sorry for ourselves, doesn't it make us more likely to accept it?

Someone is being mean to him, Christ Churchill had depression and led the country against the Nazis come on Stephen don't slide into self pity. Am i being too hard i don't know.

What bothers me most about Stephen is jealousy, he has travelled around the world, he is free, he has money, he can make movies, he can act, he can write, he can read, he can influence people yet what does he do? What does he truly do? He worries about himself and his depression. I say Stephen get on with it. You are incredibly lucky go write a book, go make a film, don't leave twitter because people are being mean, do it because you have a brain and should be writing something meaningful, you are a decent human being with a seriously good brain do something with meaning, then perhaps you will feel better.
