Almost all cliches. I can't believe people are actually using them. I find myself using them at times and I think that they should not even exist. I also don't like idioms, which could fall under the category of cliches.
I think that the English language is much more complex than it is. There are so many words in the dictionary and the words have similar meanings. Sometimes I can't tell the difference between maybe and perhaps. |

As a recipient of services as well as a provider the one thing that makes me cringe and show all the signs of my illness is when us as "recipients" of services are called CONSUMERS. It makes me think of the food chain... and besides consumers what kind of crap is that. Not all of us choose or are consumed by our mental illness. I know consumer refers to receiving services but still it just gets to me.

"Get Over it" or "get over yourself" these are words that I despise the most, I would have to say from the therapy side of things i'd say "unbalanced" is 1 phrase I hear too often

Yes. It seems to be the popular response in workplaces (& life) to Any concern. In other words "shut up, don't care, won't do anything about it"

"You can be/do anything you want" Of course this isn't true. Just because you like an activity does not mean you will be well suited to it.

"Stop whining about it"
"It's not the end of the world" "It isn't a big deal" "No one else has problems with talking about it." etc etc.

I agree with bluewings. I can't stand "just get over it". Really, if it was that simple, none of us would be posting here.

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"
I have to call BS on that one, I think I'd be stronger if my self confidence wasn't destroyed/never allowed to develop and if I didn't have anxiety issues. |

I have really enjoyed the thread, embarassed that I've actually said a few, and I do mean just a few of these myself, and hate most of them listed by you all. Nice to vent and to smile over this stuff, too. Thanks, all

"Just give it to God." (you try to, if only it were that easy)
"You lived through it then, you'll live through it now" (when you dissociate from it then, it is like going through it for the first time) "It was just a dream, dreams are not real" (no, but what the dream was about was something that was real) "I'm sorry" (it just feels like oh,....just something to say) "Just get over it, it is the past." "It is not happening now" |
