I have had friends who are diagnosed with depression and anxiety.
There are times when I told them my problems and 9/10 times they'd reply with "at least you're not depressed/have anxiety/insert some other mental illness here" I know that I don't have any mental illnesses but that doesn't mean I don't get sad :') saying this just makes it feel like my feelings and hardship and pain are invalidated
So whenever I hear this, I always think that it's so unfair. It's so unfair how depressed people have the right to feelings while 'normal people' aren't allowed them.
The feeling of needing to constantly walk on eggshells so that my words doesn't accidentally break them. It doesn't matter if I didn't mean to hurt them, they still got hurt anyways. My words will always seem like knives and I feel like it's better if I just don't say anything at all. But when I do this, they notice I've become quiet and starts blaming themselves for me acting this way
I just don't know what to do. I don't know what to say. I don't know how to act. I put so much effort into my words to make sure I don't hurt them but no matter what I do, it just never satisfy them. I'm so tired.

Your friends shouldn't be saying that to you. there's nothing wrong with you talking about your feelings dw.
ReplyThis is going to sound harsh but those aren't real friends. Just because they have a mental illness does not mean the have the right to invalidate your feelings. You're allowed to feel things and don't put yourself down. All that matters is that you're trying.
