wish i could un-hear sh** like this.

people imply or even say (in not so many words) - no matter what you are dealing with or going thru, it's never 'as-bad as'...
the relative who has MS; or that family friend or in-law who was just diagnosed with cancer; or that person who's infant child died; or that relative / person who has "real pain"; or even you brought this on yourself by not 'doing better'!


people should never project that onto those with depression and so much else. it literally destroys them from the inside out. for one thing, it makes you feel that you can't tell those people anything. and it also de-values not only you but what you experience as well.


after hearing things like that, i just wanna curl up in a ball and pull my blankie up over my head, turning the tv up loud to drown everything out.......
