Anyone else get constant advice from people?
Get out in nature more! Try meds! Ditch meds! Change your diet! Exercise! Visit friends! See a naturopath! Do acupuncture! Focus on the positives! Blah, blah, blah. I know they are trying to help. Im not asking for advice when I talk about my mental health. Talking about it IS helping me. Yet everyone seems to have all the answers and just has to share them. I am very extroverted and have no problem telling people thank you, but Im only looking to vent. Still, Im kind of tired of saying it. Im not asking you to fix it or make me feel judged. Sometimes I just need an ear. Sometimes helping is really as simple as hearing what Im saying and leaving it at that. __________________ "There is no great genius without some touch of madness." |

I can’t say I’ve run into this problem. Instead of advice, the people in my life tend to think it’s catching and best ignored. Good for you for speaking up! Sorry you keep having to do that.

I don't really have that much of a problem with that. I tend to keep to myself because of my problem and the situation of my past and really only have a few friends and my family who already know my exact treatment and goals so it is rare that this happens to me. If it does I usually politely say, that things are being handled. Also the thing with my situation is most people in my community know at least about my situation(at least what happened to me and not the specifics) because it was a public investigation while I was a missing teen for those 15 months.

I get that from family and I'm afraid of getting that from close friends so I don't say anything.
