I can understand and sympathize with loss/depression/whatever, but I'm wondering why, in these theoretical scenarios, he would waste time posting about it. pent-up anxiety isn't going to magically go away. If he's depressed about something he doesn't want to talk about, I don't see why he would still be writing posts that hint at the subject.
I lost two dogs and my grandfather to cancer in the same month, but I wasn't posting poems about how life is horrible and nobody understands.
