Yeah I don´t understand either it´s like when people say "people have it worse than you" how does that help me I am still suffering from a dozen physical and mental problems, people who are 50+ years old are healthier physically and mentally than me so why should I appreciate mynot really, though I do feel bad for the person in the video. but make me appreciate my life more? why would it?
yep. seeing someone suffering or in a disadvantaged position will not make my PTSD or depression magically go away. never made sense to me either. i guess the rationale is that seeing others have it "worse" than you would make you appreciate what you have... but that could potentially work with people who are just... temporarily sad or going through a minor thing, rather than those who suffer from severe mental/physical illnesses and seriously consider their life to be miserable (that's assuming that it's helpful to say such things in any situation, which I do not think it is).Yeah I don´t understand either it´s like when people say "people have it worse than you" how does that help me I am still suffering from a dozen physical and mental problems, people who are 50+ years old are healthier physically and mentally than me so why should I appreciate mylifeexistence more because someone else have it bad?
Seems a little ignorant.No and I didn't even click on it!
Is there anyway you could flip your profile pic the right way up? I have ocd and it's really stressing me out.not really, though I do feel bad for the person in the video. but make me appreciate my life more? why would it?
I totally agree and we are always told not to compare ourself to others but apparently only if it´s about positive things in others and to contradict that saying I do compare myself to others why wouldn´t I? It´s unfair that other people do not suffer from a single physical or mental problem while I got a dozen like it all got loaded on to me so they could live without any misery I bet a man in a wheelchair also shouldn´t be jealous of people who are able to walk and appreciate what he have? And as you said that others may have it worse doesn´t magically make all my problems go away I am still suffering.yep. seeing someone suffering or in a disadvantaged position will not make my PTSD or depression magically go away. never made sense to me either. i guess the rationale is that seeing others have it "worse" than you would make you appreciate what you have... but that could potentially work with people who are just... temporarily sad or going through a minor thing, rather than those who suffer from severe mental/physical illnesses and seriously consider their life to be miserable (that's assuming that it's helpful to say such things in any situation, which I do not think it is).
Seems a little ignorant.
