Thank you for your replies.
I get why people feel the need to say something. I get why people don't like to be around a negative person. But is just gets so hard. I DON'T want to be angry! I DON'T want to be negative. I DON'T want to bring people down with me.
At the same time there just seems to be a lack of compassion. That's a general thing with mental illness. If I had cancer and was tired people would pity me and feel sorry for me, but if I am a little grumpy because I am really stressed out I get lectured about how I need to "be more positive" or "learn not to take things so seriously". I am sick of the double standard when it comes to mental illness. Why do people have compassion when someone who suffers a physical illness is feeling bad, but if I am feeling bad I have to change my attitude? There's no compassion...or it there is it's a ....I'm compassionate...BUT....you should be doing this, or that... I just get so sick of it.
