Any1 else sick of hearing these stupid cliches like " tomorrow's a new day" or?
Question:
Answers:
Yes, exactly. If I could snap out of it, I would have as soon as I reconised it!
Yes i get very sick of hearing the same old bullshit. They arent the ones dealing with it every single day of their lives.
Sometimes I appreciate the sentiment, but in the end it doesn't make my "situation" any less of a "situation".
Its not that this stuff is altogether wrong. Some of it actually helps. I just hate that people don't understand how difficult it is to "snap out of it" or "get a hobby" or even "go to church" when you've got mental illness. It takes me 10x as much to do the things that people take for granted each day. Its all ignorance about the disease. They need to be educated.
Get a grip.
People are just trying to help.
Your attitude maybe?
I know what you mean. You know what I hate to hear? "Smile. It uses more muscles to frown than it does to smile." Am I supposed to walk around with a goofy grin all day long?
the worst ones I hate is its all in your head you know, like yes you know your brain is in your head stupid idiots. and why don't you just snap out of it, I mean please if I could do that would I have not done it a long long time ago.
Idiots that use this language towards peops with mental health problems should be shot. They are ignorant and have no understanding or empathy. NO ONE wants to have a mental health problem and if there was a magic wand we would all grab it with both hands, but there's not. This is a real disease with real symptoms and real problems. I really hate those ignoranuses that have this attitude. They have the personality depth of a paddling pool. GRRRRRRRRR!
I hate the phrase look on the bright side...if it was that bright, I'd already be looking at it.
I have RTS...so pretty much everything scares me and I get defensive as a coping mechanism. And yeah I get of lot of snap out of its and get a grips. Makes me want to shoot myself just to put a stop to it.
Well, I do hate a couple cliches, like "get a grip", "chill out" and "just snap out of it". But, tomorrow is a new day. And if your still feeling crappy, you need to focus on how to change it. Do you take meds? If not, go see a doc. If you are, then the meds aren't suited to you. I was diagnosed with anxiety /depression a year or so ago. I, in a nut shell, wanted to "croak!" I was around 46 and had nearly a decade of "dark days" and feeling like a nervious chichiuaua. The first dill hole doc put me on Depakote. Well, I don't have seizures or am schitzophrenic. But I did feel like a human slug! I changed docs, tried 4 different meds till they got it right! There are times I would have rather been crippled in a wheelchair than to feel as awful as I did, don't you agree? I love the saying, "Let em walk a mile in our shoes!" .or even just five minutes in a mood disorder!!!!
I have chronic depression and anixety. I used to get really sick of hearing "be positive" and "if things don't turn out it's because you didn't want it enough." I haven't anyting like that for several years, but I know what you mean.
