Telling someone with depression to 'just get
over it and be happy'
is like telling someone with a
broken leg to run to a hospital.
Telling someone with an eating disorder to 'just
eat'
is like telling someone with
calustrophobia to get inside a small cupboard and lock the
door.
Telling someone who self-harms to 'just stop
doing it' is like telling
a drug addict to sit
in a room full of drugs and touch nothing.
How can you judge what you
don't understand?
