Uhh I get so fed up with being told in varying ways essentially 'you're just not trying hard enough', 'you're just not putting enough effort into it, or that there's nothing really wrong with me....just that I bring on how i feel myself by not being positive enough.....in relation to my psychological issues or hell even other things in life. Thing is I try as hard as I can just to get through the day without feeling like crap, or even putting on an act so as not to bother other people with being depressed and what not. My depression, PTSD, anxiety and autism spectrum disorder really do cause me difficulties in finding/maintaining employment, sometimes even accomplishing taking a shower throughout an entire day is extremely difficult.

But yes I have challenged myself, I've pushed myself even to the extent of over-doing it causing me to feel burnt out....and even though I feel like my situation sucks and my mental problems cause a lot of misery I still try not to see things entirely negatively....but yeah I am going to complain about things sucking sometimes, because they do and nothing wrong with venting.

So yeah sick of hearing that I am not trying hard enough and just need to be more positive....its simply not true, is dis-validating due to how hard I have f******ing tried at life. Does anyone else end up getting told things like that? And does it bother you a lot? also how do you cope with it without internalizing it and feeling like you have to push yourself harder....or that they are right and I simply am not trying hard enough and brought on all my problems myself.
