Common Sense and Compassion

Alright.

I hate the way some people talk.

The other night, someone said, "If you suffer from depression or anxiety..." and the dummy behind me said, "GET OVER IT."

It basically took all I had not to turn around and say, "Okay, Tom Cruise.  You are an idiot."  Or something meaner...okay...a LOT meaner.

Depression and anxiety are both real feelings and not really something to just get over.  I don't think its that easy.  Or that that is even a REAL option for some...

Sure, there are things we have to "get over" but someone who truly suffers from those things could have a medical condition, chemical imbalance, an abusive relationship, etc.

Maybe instead of being completely ignorant, you could be compassionate.  After all, isn't that what life is about.  Yeah, we all have crap to deal with.  But making it together is a lot easier than doing it alone.  Or so they say...

So, I guess what I mean is BE NICE.  Don't be a douche.  Nobody likes it when you act like that.
