Things not to say to someone suffering from anxiety and depression

[Cat26538]

I hate when people say this

[Marshall64]

I like that. Where did you find it?

Google

I don't even tell people anymore about having depression because I get the "snap out of it" response.

[Cat26538 in reply to Marshall64]

I do too but I showed my friends this picture and they understand now.

[Hidden in reply to Cat26538]

They say that to you, "snap out of it?" Oh hell no !

[Cat26538 in reply to Hidden]

Yep. And “put your big girl panties on and grow up”

[Hidden in reply to Cat26538]

Wow, how insensitive people can be. They are no help and one wonders why people are afraid to talk or tell others.

[Cat26538 in reply to Hidden]

Exactly

Very true Cat. Don't forget the other one - 'I don't believe in depression' x
