Stop getting upset when people who aren’t mentally ill try to help a mentally ill people feel better. Its not their fault that they don’t understand what it’s like to be depressed or have anxiety. Its not their fault that they don’t understand how difficult it can be to live with.
They don’t understand, and I pray they never do.
They’re trying to genuinely help when they give advice like “go for a walk” or “drink more water”. At times it can sound stupid and condescending, but usually they’re being genuine so just be polite and say “thank you”.
