HANDICAP ☠️

[Mia]

No, you're wrong. Don't look at it as "invalidating people's struggles and hardships"... look at it as an incentive to find a solution for something that may not be that bad because it can always be worse. You can't let your struggles and depression control you. Getting over depression depends on you and whenever you decide not to allow it to control your life.

But, if you're confined to a wheelchair for eternity, then that's something that you can't overcome, no matter how much physical therapy you get. A person should not be constantly complaining if they're in good health and they can walk. So, because of that, people should learn to be more thankful.

That doesn't incentivize people though, you need to realize that. No matter how much you think it does. It's the same regurgitated crap I'd hear from friends and relatives after my favorite celebrity and brother died. It's not good advice, and people have a right to their feelings. Getting over depression isn't as easy as you're making it sound, and hearing "It could be worse" when you're already chronically depressed is a very dangerous thing to hear. It could be the thing that pushes them over the edge. Trust me, I know that state of mind. I've been there several times. You're not going to "snap out of it" from hearing "It could be worse".
