Advice.
Please, refrain from saying the following to those in your life fighting mental illness:
1. Get a Grip.
2. Cheer Up. (Wouldn’t I have already done if I could have?)
3. You Don’t Look Depressed. (Whatever…)
4. You Will Get Better When You Set Your Mind to It (Yeah, it’s that easy, but I elect to discard that and suffer.)
5. You’re Just Seeking Attention (Okay, you caught me. It’s why I have sooo many people in my life.)
6. Smile More. 😁😁😁
7. If You Pray Enough, God Will Take Away Your Anxiety. (That’s not exactly how it works.)
8. Why Do You Always Feel Sorry for Yourself? (No idea. You win.)
9. If You Want to Get Better, You Will. (For realzzz!? Maybe I can find a golden ticket!)
Hah! Great post!!

Great read. I’m going to learn that list, set up an office and start charging. I’ll be rich in no time. If only I would have known this years ago….
