edit: i just wanted to say this post and the discussions within it have really helped me feel less alone. i’ve been in a downward spiral for almost two weeks. constantly triggered by the fact people don’t seem to understand literally anything about what i go through on a daily basis. even when they’re seeing it with their own eyes.

“it gets better” (it doesn’t)

“you’re so young” (evidently that doesn’t have anything to do with it)

“it won’t be this way forever” (how the fuck would you know and considering doctors have no idea what’s wrong with me you sure as fuck won’t)

“maybe i can help” (again, doctors can’t even help)

“ive been through something similar” (you absolutely have not if you’re saying something so optimistic bc that means you got out of that situation BUT you don’t even know my situation. i haven’t given you enough details for you to say something so goddamn stupid)

its the assumptions that trigger me the most. people just need to learn when to shut the fuck up.

i also hate the “have you looked into/thought about getting professional help?”

um, yeah jessica, ive had professional help my entire life. how stupid do you have to fucking be. how do you think i got diagnosed lmfao. how do you think i’m on meds. those don’t fall out of the sky.
