I agree with what emmybuns said.

Heck, I can list a couple of male characters who I list as aggravating as Bella. For instance;

My good gravy, Sasuke Uchiha. I stopped reading the series partly because even as a side character, my god he annoyed me. He constantly let his grief and past rule his future, allowed him to be turned into a tool of darkness. (Now, as I said, I stopped reading. So I don't know if this has changed since a year or so ago.) Letting yourself lose all that makes you good is worse than just losing yourself in depression for me.

However, Bella is horribly written AND her depression is merely a plot-point to show how much she looooooves Edward. Thus, I actually dislike her more. (Heck, there are a few female characters in books I have read who have lost themselves in dperession like she did, but because they were better written and pulled themselves out slowly, and had SOME AGENCY, I love them as characters.)

And you know what? I don't see what is wrong with saying 'Girls and guys? Acting like the world has no meaning for a prolonged period of time when your love left you is not ok. We recognize this happens and it's a way to deal with things, but it is a unhealthy way to do things.'

By not saying this behavior is BAD, then we help enable it. As someone who struggles with depression, if my mom or friends told me 'Oh sweetie, that behavior is normal and good! Don't change or try to get better until some outside something makes you feel better', then I would have gotten worse.
