I was disrespected today and told I was using my depression as an excuse for needing help.

Hi Ladyhoya84
I am sorry somebody told you that! and, IMO, it does not make any sense!
Depression as an excuse for needing help? Like, you need help and you tell lies, you are not depressed, but need help. I do not get it, it does not make any sense to me. I hope you feel better soon!

In retrospect, every human needs help. It's our nature.. so I don't get why people are like that. Hope you're coping well with it

Been there. Some people will just never get it. My best advice? Ignore people like that. If possible, I even cut them from my life.

Sorry you had to hear it.

Hello Lady, so sorry for your sadness, that person doesn't have a clue. I notice when folks don't know what to say or tryingq to lift themselves up they say stupid things. Just say I'm sorry you have to make yourself big by putting what truly effects me down but even though you have hurt my feelings by what you have said I forgive you because you don't know better because if you did you would not be so cruel. Have great day because I intend to live life in victory. I bet after you say that it would be the last time they say something like that to you. Keep your head up my friend.
