"You're overreacting" someone close said this to me when I was at my all time low. I will never see them the same, and now I try not to show to much emotion around them.
Another person close to me once said "Depression is not an excuse to be lazy" this stung for a long time. I also don't see them the same. I just hide my emotions now. I only show them to myself behind closed doors...
But don't feel bad because I am now at my best!
Many people I have dated or hung out with have been very into me, that is until I mention my mental health condition. Not even joking a guy I was seeing was saying how much he wanted to be with me and how he was excited to see where things go. The second I mentioned my mental health he said "I feel like you're just going to screw my life up and that's your thing to deal with, not mine" and be blocked me. Don't penalize people for their mental health especially when you had no issue with their behaviour before.
So sorry to hear this. I have found that most people are very hypocrite in the matter of mental health awareness. I have seen persons being big advocate of mental health on social media and when somebody committed suicide, their comment was, good for them. :(
I used to dance around all the time as a child. When I was around 8-9, I dreamily told my mom I wanted to be a ballerina. She quickly said “You are too big boned to be a ballerina”. I never dance anymore.
It was probably when my parents have said that they disown me. I wasn't disowned, but it still hurt me.
"Hey, M______, you're hideous."
As a fellow highschool girl, I can tell you that your personality and expressiveness and bookworm-i-ness is beautiful and of somebody says other wise then they are seriously just jealous of you (and for a good reason). You are very likable and enjoyable and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
"You have the personality only a mother could love."
Someone said it after some petty debate about a |personal| topic.
Sounds like you were getting the best of them, they didn't like it, and lashed out.
I hate you. I proceeded to call the person a b*tch and she cried
"If you're so depressed all the time, why don't you just kill yourself?" I was a teenager trying to figure things out, and this comment sent me into weeks of emotional spiraling.
I’m murdering whoever this is HOW DARE THEY ADVISE YOU TO DO THAT! YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL BEING THAT IS IMPORTANT TO THIS EARTH!
You are AroAce? Doesn't that mean that you can't be my friend? You don't love people and my friends need to care about me.
I still care about people. I just don't want a relationship with them. :(
I choose my girlfriend and her kids over you. -my father to me
If you were a mother you would understand.
Said to me while still in hospital following surgery for an eptopic pregnancy
Numerous comments about my weight from family to complete strangers alike. The most recent one was a few weeks ago. I was having a nice lunch with my mom and aunt. Out of the blue, my aunt said that I shouldn't wear skinny jeans because I'm bigger. Well, that nice lunch quickly went south. The most memorable comment from a stranger was when an old lady told me I have a pretty face but I'm too fat. Thanks, lady!
Don't listen to them! One of the best, prettiest people I know are a bit bigger! Don't listen to the haters!
Since when have you ever been non-binary?
From my sister, she was 7 and homophobic af. I never thought she would be the one to break me.
Now they use she/they pronouns.
When the doctor at the fertility clinic said to me and my ex-husband “the biggest shame is that if you were both with different partners you’d both be parents”
“If you’re so unhappy then just kill yourself. It would solve everyone’s problems anyway.”
This is definitely not something you should be telling people. This was in 6th grade. I’m now in highschool and still think of this as a reasonable way to go about things.
I know it feels easy for adults to say you have your whole life ahead of you but right now, what ever you are going through - please please believe me when I tell you this. Every day might seem long but before you know it you will leave school and be in a position to change your environment. Keep going, there will be a day when you can be in control of your life and be around people who see you. One day, you too could be happy. The world is full of adults who felt like you do now, but kept going and now have happy lives. Future you just needs you to stay alive to make them real. Love
“I personally don’t consider depression as an excuse to not do your assignments.” -One of my friends, who also has depression. That really stung
It's not an excuse. It is a reason. Your friend has probably been told this many times by people who do not understand, and is battling themselves with a lack of understanding. Hope you both get the help you need.
"Im lesbien now" and im breacking up with you 😢 i have 5+ ex gfs :,)
My mom said something really hurtful. She said I can't use my ADHD as a crutch. I wasn't using it as a crutch. I'm struggling to focus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She hurt me really bad with those words.
I'm not mad at you, I'm just disappointed in you.
Every time my Mom said this to me, my heart would break.
Not nearly as bad as some of the other posts, I'm just an overemotional bookworm, crying over heartbreaking quotes from my books.
"You try to fix everything Sophie, you even fixed Exilium. But you can't fix me,"
"I'm not worth it,"
"I'm not like you. You were made to be the hero. I was raised to be something else."
"Please be careful. Please be happy. and please forget all about me. It'll be better for everyone that way. You'll see."
"Thank you for being brave enough to find me this one last time, you gave me the gift of goodbye,"
First sentence: “Your grandfather died.”
Second: “Your dads cousin died from suicide.”
i cried both times
“You’re a girl, and you’ve always been a girl”
My mom said that, and she might be right since I’m still questioning my gender and everything. However, I worked up the courage to tell her that I wanted to experiment with my gender to see what I liked, so that line kinda shattered me for a bit. I know she had good intentions, but still.
You probably think this is pathetic but.. My dad sells drugs, is lazy, and a cheater
"Your so much like your father"
Every decision you made in life is a s**t decision.
My brother, on why I choose a career in the military, and married a non-white woman, and have two beautiful bi-racial children with her.
What he doesn't realize is that from his point of view it might be s**t, but from my point of view, it is the best choices I ever made, breaking the family tradition (or family curse, from my point of view.)
My best friend at that time …
Some kid said something along the lines of y’all are best friends.
Her response
I hate that b***h we aren’t friends I don’t know who told you that.
" No one likes you so just take a swan-dive of the roof. "
Came from my so called best friend
