I truly understand. People seem to feel that all you have to is think happy thoughts or whatever and BOOM! depression gone. Or "don't let it get to you" or "snap out of it" or a million other cliches.
One all time favorite is "think about what other people are going through" as if that's going to help.
One time I actually did that. I was leaning over a car talking to the driver, and the others, she said "think about what other people are going through, etc." So I told her to hold on, stood up and thought about what other people are going through. Then I leaned back into the car and said "ok I thought about what other people are going through and now what"?
They looked at me and laughed.
Is it really laughable? Just stop all the platitudes!
