"Get over it."
"Things will get better, you'll see."
"Fake it till you make it."
"C'est la vie."
"Think about the starving children in Africa!"
"Live, laugh, love."
"Soon you'll put this all behind you."
"Move on."
"Why don't you try yoga/Pilates/SoulCycle/Zumba/insert exercise fad here?"
"Why don't you try diet and exercise?"
"You need to do a cleanse."
"Positive vibes only."
"Stop being so negative."
"If you think bad things, they'll come to you."
"Have you read The Secret?"
"It'll be OK if you just think positive."
"Leave all that negativity behind."
"Turn your problems over to Jesus."
"Let go and let God."
I could go on all day...

In regards to my dysphoria and hating the male body.
"Maybe you should explore your body"
"Live vicariously through people of the opposite sex"
Very cringe.

"Write a gratitude journal! #blessed"
"You'll feel better if you have some hot tea and a warm bath. Use a bath bomb for extra soothing! #selfcare"
"If you're in debt, stop drinking lattes at Starbucks. Don't go out to eat. Just live miserably until it's all paid off, as though that's a life worth living."
"You'll feel better if you're in therapy and taking meds."
"You just haven't tried hard enough to feel better."
"Take more walks!"
"Eat more vegetables."
"Try a low-FODMAP diet."
"Depression is a choice."
"Why haven't you tried losing weight?"
"Drink this kale smoothie; it'll make you feel better!"
"Clean your room."
"Call 1-800-SUICIDE, have the cops break your door down, and spend two weeks in the psych ward only to be billed for $1,000 afterward!"
"Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem."
I could be here all fucking day with the inane advice I've heard from therapists, doctors, health websites, and hotlines.
