I am currently:
"Get over it"

So, in June, I got dumped.
And it stirred up some of my depression issues.
I'm working on being better, and I am getting better.
But sometimes when I see my ex (which is usually when I'm around my friends), I end up feeling down anyways.
And my friends love the phrase "just get over it."
Now I think if I hear these words come out of my friends mouth again, I might just freaking explode.
Because my issues with myself, and the sadness that accompanies those issues, which all have been stirred up by my ex and get stirred up by him every time I see him, won't just click off like that, because if they could, I'd just shut them off forever.
How do I cope with them telling me to "just get over it"?
How do I keep my cool enough so that I don't do something I'll regret?
And would it be a good idea to try to explain this all to my best friend (who says this all the time) and see if she stops saying it or do you think it would just make me feel worse the next time she says it?
Okay, thanks for reading, and replying. It means a lot. :)

i think everyone hates that phrase when people say it to them. i certainly do...

i would try to tell your friend that it isn't helping you at all. i would pick a time when she hasn't just said it though, to reduce the chance that things get angry.




this is my magical medicine cabinet. Left to right they contain: courage, hope, calmness, and strength.

The magical part: They NEVER run out, so borrow some any time you want.

I'm am sorry your getting told to 'just get over it', I really think it minimizes a persons pain and makes them feel like their pain doesn't matter. What your feeling does matter though and it will take time to be able to work through it all. I would have a chat with your friend and let them know that them using that phrase hurts you and if they could stop. Take care

That really sounds a hard place to be right now, but i think talking to your bestfriend about it and telling them it not helpful what they are saying..

Some people can't just get over it, it can take a while to feel ok about ending a relationship..

I am here if you wanna chat..

I'll tell your friends to cease pretending they know what you're going through and that that phrase is grossly unhelpful.



PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10 or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student.

I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out.
I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included.
Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
