Don't you just love people with such simple solutions to your life such as if you're depressed, "well just think happy thoughts", for low self esteem "look in the mirror everyday and say 'I like you' " (really that was from a real life therapist, yeah I saw him ONCE haha) etc...

Any examples you all have experienced like this from people that just dont' understand how it really is?
Of course. A lot of people give out that advice. I guess because they don't understand it or they don't know what to say. Advice that annoys me would be "Just be yourself" and "Don't be so sensitive", etc. ...Yes that's so helpful, thank you. Lol.

I remember last year I was in crisis and I was under my crisis team and they would visit me almost every day, The advice they gave me I laugh at it now but at the time I was annoyed with them, They would say to me "Make a cup of tea if and when you feel yourself feeling low" as if this is going to cure me in the middle of a crisis Lol, I do this every day anyway.

On another note I so dislike people saying to me "Cheer up" I feel like giving them a slap

Oh my gosh yes. These people make me so angry, I normally just lash out and say I don't need 'fixing' it's like they're making me out to be inferior to them. My partner has done it a bit lately which equals me just being angry at him.

I know I'm messed up, and people that just think oh be positive, get a good sleep pattern, get a job etc.. They have no freaking idea.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
