Phrases You Are Tired of Hearing

Personally I call Pdoc's pushers since that is all they do anymore, push drugs. Listen, nope, the side effects were just all in my mind.

I'm a patient not a consumer. That means I expect to be treated the same as any patent with an illness, not patronized or talked to as if everything I say is suspect, when I say something physical is wrong they had better take it seriously and find out the cause! I'm not willing to end up in the ER or ICU anymore because they assume it's all in my mind!

If I'm a consumer then what happened to the phrase; the costumer is always right??

Exactly.

"Take a walk, you will feel better"
while it may help if you are a bit out of sorts.... when things are full blown out of grip with reality way.. walking doesn't do a darn thing.

i am really fed up hearing 'take your time, don't rush' i have no choice but take my time, if i don't i mess thing up or crash my scoot or fall off my chair and set my asthma off!

the other is 'you are looking well' it seems whenever i am feeling awful or exhausted people seem to think i look well yet when i feel ok no one says a thing!

in England we are referred to as service users or just users, i am not a user, i paid more in taxes than i will ever get back!

you're not trying hard enough... if you just tried harder...
smile!
stop obsessing/don't think about it
just be positive

just don't do it
don't let her get to you
you are an adult and in control
don't get lost in the emotion

"It's just a phase"
"You create your own happiness"
"It will go away"

my t is famous for "we just have to tease this out" meaning he hasn't a clue how to handle what is going on with me

Everyone's a little Bipolar

Closure ...

As if such a thing really exists!

Oh, It'll be better tomorrow! Look on the bright side!

AAArrrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!

"Stop playing games."
"This is all for attention, isn't it?"
"Why didn't you just tell me you felt suicidal?"
"If you really wanted to die, you would've done it already."
"Maybe you need help in the community." -I do have help!

Me: I can't help if I have mental health issues.
Dad: Yes you can.

"Things will get better."
"I don't want your opinion/suggestions so shut up."
"You have no control over your life until you're 18."

"It is all in the past......your safe now."

Really! thanks for telling me.....I had nooooooo idea!

Like I do not know it is in the past

OK...this one...but I keep using it...

"It is what it is."

But the one deep down I abhor...."I/We are 'Concerned' about you!"

Oh really?! Then...stop talking and help out?! Just sayin'

"If you were serious about suicide, you'd have killed yourself by now."

"You knew what you were doing, why didn't you stop yourself?"

"You don't have a disability, I don't know why you need an ESA."

"Life is unfair."

Great. I Know. But you don't have to prove it everyday!

"Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem."

Great, except that if you have a severe mental illness and are severely depressed and can only remember all the previous times you've been depressed, it doesn't feel so temporary.

"You just need to keep busy until you feel better"
This actually used to work a little.

"You are bringing this on yourself"
Why would I do that???

"Depression is a choice"
OMG...

Wisecracks like those?
You're damn right they would tire anybody who
has actually had to live with depression. +1!

Personally, I'd rename this thread as
"Thanks a heck of a lot, Buster!" or words to that effect.
But would it trigger a deletion for objectionable/unprintable
content?
