For sure; I feel like my therapist downplays my entire life. But then again, she's not the one with a mental disorder. For us with mental disorders, we tend to exaggerate the significance of certain problems in our life. To us, it may seem like the end of the world but for others, they don't see it as much as a problem. That's one of the cognitive distortions that we deal with. Like my friends are always making comments like "omg stop worrying" or "why are you freaking out so much?" but that's because their mind functions 'normally' and they're able to see things more clearly instead of through a lense like me.
