Oh I absolutely agree. I'm just saying that it likely is the only way he knows how to reach out. We both aren't in a position to help at all and I know very well how tiresome it can be to talk to people about their depression, because in the end, you can never really help and just you spin around in circles. Sure, taking an evening to listen to their problems and talk about it isn't a big deal, but listening to it all day every day without anything ever getting better is just tiresome.

The only real advice to give is "Get help." and my point is perhaps OP should've done that instead of trying to get up-votes off the misery of others. Even doing nothing would've been better. He is the real sad-cringe here.
