This reminds me of respectability politics somehow. A well-intentioned attempt to dodge the bullet of treating people who are disabled or have a chequered past properly when we should be biting it.
Yeah the second example especially made me go "what the fuck?". The way it's worded comes across as though of course a normal and appropriate response to recurring depression is for no one to associate with you and for you to do work for free and no credit. And I agree with what you said about the first example too. Thanks for articulating this so well, I'm sure they're very well intentioned but I hope they read this and can modify the examples!

Oh, it looks like they're already changed the examples? Unless you got them from a different page than the one you linked.
