“Depression is just an excuse for being lazy.”

I have unfortunately heard this one too… from a family member…

 

[Ahsoka]

Yep.
She said because I didn’t answer her when she asked if I was going to harm myself is when she brought my mom in and told her that. Ngl I thought my mom was going to slap her
But I was also 10 year’s old, just had a lot in my life change because of something and my trust in strangers wasn’t very high so I don’t quite understand how she thought a kid should feel comfortable in such a new experience to talk to a complete stranger.

Yeah that’s ridiculous, some people need to rethink their professions

“Depression is just an excuse for being lazy.”

This was said by my community college biology professor during our presentation for finals. Let’s just say everyone, including myself just judged him for saying that. He was a cool professor until he said that

That’s when you say “stupidity is just an excuse for being a dick”

True and I would’ve said that 9 years ago (this happened in 2014)

My grandmother is in denial that there is anything wrong with me whatsoever
and blames the medication as well sigh.

I remember when I went to a mental health clinic for some counselling a few years ago, I was talking to the counsellor a lot about my social anxiety and he forced me to join this art club even though I told him that I don’t want to but then he persisted and asked me if there was a reason why I refused to wanting to join.
Then that day, I ended up coming to the ”art club” and he was there too and we were having a conversation with each other and I knew that I wasn’t gonna get anything out from it so I left there early just way after he left. I’m so glad I’m not a client under that service anymore.
The following year I got assigned to a clinician the following year at the same service who apparently isn’t a good clinician in my opinion because the way she responded to my concerns during my first session with her - she just basically invalidated my feelings and since that happened I knew I wasn’t gonna benefit from that either. I rang up the service the following week for them to cancel my sessions with her, and it was such a relief!

Some help is like that. Does nothing t make you feel better.
I once paid 550 dollars for a psych who was completely useless.
It saddens me how someone so unqualified can get that much money.
