Oh [beep beep beep], people who say things like that are probably why so many of us here at PC (and elsewhere in the world) feel like crap about our MH. So ignorant and insensitive. Sure, I'll just "get over" my anxiety, and "try harder", oh and while I'm at it, I'll just magically undo the 28 years of OCD... yeh, ... sure... ¬_¬ You've every right to be pissed right off, IMO. He just can't understand it, I guess. But hey, I can't understand MPD or Schizophrenia, but I don't go telling people to "get over it".

I think you'll find a lot of people here would react similarly to how I have... it's frustrating because a lot of us get it throughout our lives and it drives us "crazy".

This is one of the reasons why I would prefer to be with a woman who understands at least some of this kinda stuff, because I'd hate to have a woman turn around to me and say crap like "get over it", or "suck it up", or "you'll feel better tomorrow", or "cheer up", etc. IMO, it's almost as bad as telling a guy in a wheelchair to "get up and run around; you'll feel better" - the only difference is that we can see the wheelchair. I hate crappy MH.

That rings true to me, at least.
