So fucking relatable!!
I had people come up to me and say "Try to enjoy yourself, man. If you have fun, you wouldn't pay attention to it and then it'll eventually go away" this was literally one of the dumbest things I've ever heard in my life.
People expect us to "just get over it" but they don't understand how serious and dangerous these mental health issues really are. Especially depression. It makes you feel as if you're not worthy enough to live and never will be.
Instead of actually helping by giving genuine advice like "you should really go to a doctor; this is serious stuff" they just brush it off by saying something incredibly stupid.
Exactly. And sometimes they even win, cause depressed person can be easily made to feel guilty, to feel not valuable. And even if he/she already meant to see a doctor this intention can be broken with such stupid advises.
