"It gets better"
"don't let her get to you"
"I understand exactly how you feel", "just chose to be happy"
"just keep yourself entertained and you won't feel that way"
"Just don't cut/just eat more/just eat less/just take care of yourself! It's not that hard!"

I don't hear that from doctors/therapists, just from (mostly) well meaning people who don't have any training.

Oh and I also despise the word "coping". I'm not really sure why. I don't want to "cope". I want to thrive. "Cope" sounds like making peace with with sub par life. Plus it just feels horrible in my mouth. I know I'm crazy for hating that word, I just can't stand it.
