I completely agree Becca. Diminishing anyone’s shared painful experience is a really unhelpful to do
and I’m sorry this has happened to you. I’ve had similar comments after physical challenges such as miscarriage & the menopause - and its upsetting & not helpful. Hugs to you

Sorry you have had to experience it too. Its just a comment that should never be said to anybody about anything. It's unnecesassary and can potentially cause harm.

I had a GP say that to me once! It was very nearly the straw that broke the camel's back! Funnily enough I never saw her again!

People still seem to think that mental ilness is a choice thing, something we can snap out of! Its called an illness for a reason. It doesn't matter what somebody's circumastances are they can still become very unwell!

I've had this from people I thought cared about me. Oh so and so went through worse and coped better etc. And it set me back so much

It's such an unhelpful and detrimental thing to hear.

I had a counsellor say that to me once. Well, actually, she was a maths teacher who had been on a 1-day training course and was now expected to single-handedly manage the mental health of the whole school. That comment almost killed me.

It can be so damaging! Such a stupid thing to say. It baffles me that people may think this comment is helpful.
