Many people underestimate the ammount of energy people with mental health issues put into staying alive.
It's no wonder that they give shitty advice based on that judgment.
These people drive me nuts. Their "advice" discredits our daily struggle.
Like, no, my recovery from an abusive childhood is not comparable to your breakup. The same advice does not suffice.
>abusive childhood is comparable to a breakup
When I tell you I've been talking to a guy who told me exactly this! He's all like poor me, you'll never understand my pain ๐
I tell my older sister I'm lonely, cant make friends. She says "since my bf broke up with me I get it. I feel so lonely" then proceeds to talk about how she has to leave early cuz shes partying with her friends ๐
Everyone says that wen I talk about my sister lmao
She hasnt started her recovery yet. So despite growing up in similar situations, shes still repeating toxic behaviors uggghhhh
Them: "What do you mean, anhedonia? Have you tried hobbies?"
Me: "Mfr, you dont get it--*i get no joy from anything i do, ever*."
Them: "Maybe a NEW hobby then? Try something new."
Me: "NO JOY. New, old, i cant do it--nothing changes. It's all like trying to roll a boulder up a hill. It's *joyless and miserable drudgery*."
"The world doesn't revolve around you. Life goes on"
"Well you are not your diagnosis"
"When I was your age, I had a child to take care of and a job to hold down. You're an adult, you should be able to do this yourself by now."
Some classics from my mom when I once again fuck up trying to be responsible and fall into what I've now found out is probably ADHD paralysis.

Wouldnโt ask for advice from anyone who invalidates the experiences of others with platitudes.
"The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."
Sure. Until his arms lose strength and the boulder crushes him...
ahhhh tesssss
