New piece of stellar advice just dropped! Been told by a relative to “just think happy thoughts”

@purplepadma 🙉

"Oh I hadn't thought of that. Maybe you should just think something before you speak."

At one time, I would have said it is ignorance, but I don't thing that is a valid excuse these days.

@SteveClough She very much lacks imagination

@purplepadma not enough FFS or stones in their shoes for that one.

@NatalyaD The irony is Natalya, she claims to spend all winter crying because she has SAD, and often moans to me how miserable she is when she has her period. Why doesn’t she just take her own advice???

NatalyaD,

@purplepadma Cos that would be too much like insight?

Or maybe she assumes cos she's crap at the basics, that you with your more serious condition aren't good at the basics, which is presumptious and annoying!

@NatalyaD She has never been able to see that my issues are more disabling than hers. She’s just clueless

@purplepadma I hate that. It's not that someone with more severe issues erases the less-severe, but sometimes people need to recognise severity.

I get this from people who fall off horses, injure a shoulder and tell me cos magic surgery fixed them, my from-birth fucked shoulder with no anatomy to fix-to should be fixable with a simple op too. Like I've not seen 2 the top hospitals in the UK about it & scared ProfSurgeons.

@purplepadma I had to laugh, because if I didn't I'd cry. If I had a dollar for every time I heard that, I'd be a millionaire.

@purplepadma Get this person the Nobel Prize in Medicine! They've finally solved what everyone else thought was unsolvable! Everyone is now fixed and better!

@RolloTreadway She wanted to continue the conversation after that but I simply didn’t reply because I was too furious

@purplepadma OH MY G’AH! That … is … brilliant! Time to stop taking all my psychotropics! All I need is a positive mental attitude!

@purplepadma@beige.party avatar

@GayDeceiver IDK why we didn’t think of this before! We must be idiots!

@lance Correct

@purplepadma Can your GP prescribe ‘happy thoughts’, or do you need to go to a psychiatrist?

purplepadma,
@purplepadma@beige.party avatar

@transponderings Maybe a pharmacist can advise!

rgarner,
@rgarner@mastodon.social avatar

@purplepadma they mean well, but they should probably be pushed into a lake

purplepadma,
@purplepadma@beige.party avatar

@rgarner My sentiments exactly

@purplepadma "thanks I'll get right on that"
