Anyone ever feel like they are being judge or people are still stigmatising depression and anxiety.

I am finding that rather than just being there for me when I need them or giving me a hug and saying always here for you or it won't last forever which is what you want to receive when your feel down.

I've listed a few experiences as anyone else had the following said too them or similar ones.

1. You will get a job or the career you want just don't give up
2. Think positive thoughts and all your negative feelings will go away
3. Don't be sad just be happy
4. It's the depression and anxiety talking
5. Do something you enjoy and then you will be happy
6. Stop playing the victim
7. Be happier and more people will like you
8. Have more confidence and your more likely to get someone to go out with you
9. Take up a hobby
10. There are people who are much worser off than you.

I probably could list about a hundred but this is what I get from people who claim to be my friends and also from my family. They say they are here for you but when the time comes they either don't really want to know or they just say stuff like above.

For those who are not suffering with a mental illness or emotional problems etc. Being happy, enjoying life, having confidence and having full control of their mind is very basic. But they really don't know how difficult it is for people such as ourselves.

One day I know I'm going to flip at someone and say stop judging me
