"This will pass"
"I want you to know I'm praying for you"
...telling me you're praying for me sort of defeats the purpose. What you really want is my gratitude and attention for your prayers. Just tell me you don't know what to say, there are no words for something this profound. I'll never thank you for praying or judge you for your beliefs, but it's a dumb flex. My understanding is that your God rewards you for the good deeds you do in private (I was told this by a Christian).
It also makes me feel like they think that once they've prayed, they've done the most and can feel proud of themselves (although I realize this isn't always the case--again, no judgment).
People have good intentions but sometimes it's so exhausting to hear this kind of talk when there are so many other things that can be done to help. Praying may help you, but it doesn't help me. Show up. Or don't. But don't pray for me, tell me about it and then act like you're so special that your prayers will cure me.
"Happiness is a choice!"
The Suicide Hotline says, "take a bath", "go for a walk", "read a book".
As if suicide is totally treatable by just distracting yourself. Maybe that's valid in some cases, but certainly not in all. It's especially insulting when you've been living and fighting for YEARS. I bathe daily, the water falling down on me "should" feel cleansing, but personally it's where I feel most vulnerable and self-harmy. Like all my sins and failures are raining down on me.
This forum on the other hand has given me more comfort and made me feel more understood than anything/one else. Having control over how I go, having access to resources and reading about other experiences has given me more relief than anything.
If you haven't personally been through this...I really don't want your comfort. And if someone thinks they can give me some sort of quick fix then I'm sure that's really satisfying. For them.
