JK Rowling's Perfect Response To Fan With Depression Who Said She's 'Tired Of Being Sad All The Time'

JK Rowling has issued some wonderful words of advice to a fan after they tweeted her with a plea for help.

One Twitter user wrote to the author, explaining that she was "tired of being sad all the time" and didn't know how to scare away the "dementors" living under her bed.

@jk_rowling could you please teach me how to scare the dementors that have been living under my bed? i'm tired of being sad all the time

Spotting the cry for help amid a sea of tweets, Rowling brilliantly responded within eight minutes to say:

They're bothering a unique, valuable human being who deserves happiness. Ask for help. Don't fight alone. Big hug. https://t.co/V8ocAHN1Ll

The author advised her fan that she should ask for help and not fight alone. And that the dementors are "bothering a unique, valuable human being who deserves happiness".

As can be expected, other Twitter users went into a state of complete adoration for the author and also offered their words of advice and comfort to '@mtrssmustdie'.

*hugs from another person fighting her dementors*
