As we all know, depression isn't caused by a failure to lay there for 3 hours on a daily basis with cucumber over your face, while an orange woman massages your feet.
But what stupid things do people suggest as a way to feel better?
I'll kick it off:
- "You need to look at it from a different perspective".
Ok Julia, I'm facing homelessness, have no money or job despite trying, and have been clinically depressed for years and am not getting any help. What perspective would you like me to look at this from?
- "You just need to stop thinking so negatively".
My life is making me feel negative.
My life isn't the way it is because I'm having 'the wrong thoughts'.
