Title: What are your hated comments?
Post by: Pip on October 26, 2015, 04:16:34 PM

Disliked comments don't have to be about depressions :righton:

A few to start;

"Pull yourself together" - That's easier said than done

"There are people worse off than you"  -  Yes there are but it doesn't make me feel any better knowing that.
 
"What have you got to be depressed about?"  -  How long have you got  ;) ?  How about stupid comments, you don't know what unless you ask, verbal abuse, coerced into surrendering son .....

"There's nothing wrong with you"
"you don't look ill"
"stop whining"
"you've got nothing to be depressed about"

"depression isn't real" < that's what one of my family is convinced about and nothing anyone says to her makes any difference.

We have a friend who came out with a classic clanger recently - "I thought depression is just when you have a low day."  :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash:
