The One Word You Shouldn't Say To Someone With Anxiety Or Depression

It may seem harmless, but this four-letter word is actually doing a lot of damage.

.

.

Take a moment to imagine yourself in the lowest mental state you could possibly be. Removing yourself from your bedsheets to move your body feels about as excruciating as climbing Mount Everest barefoot. Or maybe out of nowhere your heart starts thumping so fast that your breath hitches in your throat and your lungs can’t get air. Now picture your well-meaning friend trying to offer you some advice during this time, and saying something along the lines of “Why don’t you just work out?” or Just take a few deep breaths and calm down.” That four-letter word may seem harmless, but it actually can do a lot of damage. “Just” implies that whatever task or behavior ― say, exercising or relaxing ― you’re suggesting is easy or uncomplicated. In reality, it’s anything but, according to experts.


“For many people with anxiety and depressive disorders, everyday tasks that seem 'simple' to others can be very challenging.”
.
.
All of this isn’t to say that you should never offer advice; in fact, your support is vital. There are just some better ways to phrase it. Below are some expert-backed suggestions on how to frame your words instead:
  • I care about you
  • I know this is probably difficult, but what about....
  • What I can do to help?
  • I really love _______about you.
  • There's nothing wrong with getting treatment.


Above all, it’s important to keep in mind how tough mental health conditions are when you’re interacting with a loved one who’s experiencing one. When you have depression, getting out of bed and working out seems insurmountable. When you’re in the throes of anxiety, calming your mind and slowing heart rate on the spot seems impossible. You either feel like you’re going to die or you feel absolutely nothing at all.

Take life easy man........
Go "F" to the work and boss that demand from you so high, go to hell with perfectionist (except for some work that really need it e.g. surgeon during an operation). Not everything in life, in work and so forth that is important and urgent ...........so why so much tension? Think of change........include leaving the job if it is only solution that makes your depression feel better.
Enjoy this limited years of life to the fullest.

Well, it's not as easy as some people may think..in fact it is NOT EASY..to face life's challenges and struggles with any sort of mental illness.

Anxiety and depression itself ade mcm2 jenis...ade yg short term...ade jgk yg long term..and if the cause of it is geneticly inherited and or dysfunctional upbringing during childhood, maknanye you have to live with it your whole life...with treatment , medication , psycho therapy and etc..

Infact ramai jgk penghidap D & A ni walaupun setelah or semasa mendpt rawatan pakar & sebgainye masih berhempas pulas ditempat keje and life in general...

What more when it comes to the negative or should i say shallow mindedness of other peoples perception of those dealing with mental illness??..

Mcm2 kite bleh kupas psl topik ni sebenarnye..

This is actually a very great article! It's a shame that so many people don't know this, and trying to help, they only make it worse. People with depression or other psychological disorders are very vulnerable and sensitive, so it is very easy to cause them moral damage.
