Bitter Grapes: Things You Shouldn’t Say To…

hazelfyre:

journeytoanewcreation:

People suffering from depression:

“Stop being so negative!”
“You choose to be sad”
“You don’t even have anything to be sad about”
“There are millions worse off than you, just get a grip!”

People struggling with self-harm:

“You’re just doing it for attention!”
…

Someone needs to add “If you really wanted to kill yourself you’d be dead already!” to the suicide one. That is complete BS right there. Sure a lot of people don’t actually want to die and attempt suicide (and sometimes even succeed) but invalidating someone because they haven’t accomplished what they want and/or feel like doing, especially suicide, is bullshit, and for some people it can actually push them over the edge because now they feel invalidated and that they have to prove themselves to you.
