5 Things People Say to Me That Doesn't Help

I have spoken briefly before about my struggle with depression and what it feels like to me - find that blog post here. But when I am going through one of those moments I turn to my closest friends who are amazing and supportive. There are, however, some people who just don't get it. Here are 5 things that I've either had said to me or I've heard say about others that really just don't help.

1: You'll live.

2: Other people have it much worse.

3: Smile, it might never happen.

4: You've just got to pull yourself together.

5: Just get on with it, you can't change it.

There are so many more things (once I started thinking of them I realised just how many there were), but these are the ones that grate on me. 

If you have ever found yourself saying these to someone struggling, please just don't.  Or do you have any to add to the list?
