Tell me the worst mental health advice you've received

"pull yourself up by the bootstraps"

This one is funny because it's literally impossible to pull yourself up by bootstraps. That's why it's supposed to be said ironically, but lately people say it seriously, and I don't think they get the joke.

Fake it till u make it.

Fuck that. Whenever I see people outside I just feel even more depressed and alone. It's as if the world is mocking me

I can be in a room of 150 people and still be alone.

Though if you haven't tried a "munch" is probably your best bet.

one time someone actually used the line "inside you there are two wolves" when trying to give me advice

"Inside you there are two wolves. Both have SaSu accounts."
