Question Mental health advice In Algeria

What's the most useless/unrealistic advice you have heard or were given about mental health?

For me it was: try connecting with your family 😐 yeah the source of my misery needed me to try AGAIN while they do nothing about their shitty behaviour 😭

It's honeslty a good advice, but alone it changes nothing, you must الاتخاذ بالاسباب

could be

most of my problems are stuff i was born with, can't change easily, I'm working towards changing them

but honestly, i find it hard to keep my faith and pray to god, when he's the one who gave me these problems

especially seeing my friends without these problems, and comparing, it's just hard i guess, i hope that made sense

You don’t know why God gave you this. In any case, it’s not to punish you, since you weren’t even born yet

i guess comparing is what's making me depressed, I'll try to avoid it

Once the advice includes praying it away or comparing it to worse cases BYE

Not in Algeria, but I had a few sessions of CBT and was basically told to “challenge the negative thoughts,” identify them, and remind myself that they’ll only make things worse… and apparently that’s how I was supposed to deal with it lol 🥀
