The thing that you aren't looking at in this secret is the psychology of a person contemplating suicide or experiencing severe depression. In both cases the person is usually overwhelmed by their current circumstances, whether it is by internal strife or external suffering, and it is extremely hard to think 'it will get better'. That is one of the reasons the 'It gets better' campaign is so huge- it delivers a message that needs to be heard.
As someone who struggls with depression, there are moments where everything seems so horrible and you feel like you can never change, that you are completely broken and can't do anything to change it. To put it simply- it makes sense to me that a fictional character or show would help a person to live. Sometimes, when people are in their depths, fiction is one of the best helps because it carries with it greater truths. As G.K. Chesterton said, "Fairy tales aren't true because dragons exist, but because they can be beaten." When real life stories carry with it specific people who we think are better then us, fictional stories carry broad messages that inspire hope, or show us characters that are more messed up than we are yet still carrying on.
So, in the end, their lives are worth living if simply for the promise of change in the future, and characters/shows/etc help remind us of possibilities.
