Those that have never experienced a migraine think its just a really bad headache. Those that have never experienced anxiety think it is just intense worry. Those that have never experienced depression think it is just profound sadness. Those that have never experienced gender dysphoria think it is just a desire to cross dress. Those that have never experienced obesity think its just the result of overeating. Those that have never experienced autism think that those with autism are just being rude. Those that have never experience the need to self harm think that those who do are just seeking attention. Those that have never experienced.... Please, if you have never experienced what someone else is going through, at least try to understand them. Dont brush them off with statements like, cheer up, smile a little, get some exercise, get out more, eat healthier, you should ask God for help, or Ill pray for you. Not only do those things not help in the slightest, they actually make things worse. Dont be the person that makes anothers life worse, with a thoughtless attempt to help. If you truly want to help, make an honest attempt to learn what it is they are going through. Then just be there for them when they need you. That is what it means to be a friend and an ally. Just understand and be there.
