I feel like it's a thin line between being positive and straight up lying. Yes sometimes it feels like I'm improving (more than not lately), but if I'm having a bad time then I'm having a bad time and I don't wanna pretend like everything's fine. Depends on the people you're talking to of course but good friends should be able to handle if you're down even for a long time. Which I must say has greatly reduced the amount of people I can now truly call friends, but the good side of that is that I know, it's been an eye opener really But thanks for the video, it's on point
Thank you Toby, your really right, i realized that when i unswer them like you said, it’s makes me proud because they don’t get it even if I explain to them they think am having depression and so on.thank you so much for helping us.
Its taken me years to realise that when someone says 'how are you?" they are just being polite... I never ask unless I actually WANT to hear... so I would either say "I'm ok thanks" when it wasn't true or see their eyes glaze when I tried to explain. I'll be looking out for that training...thanks Toby
Toby, thank You so much for sharing another way of dealing with such questions from other people. I struggled for quite some time, could not find a balance in answers. This approach feels much more better!
You are so on point here. I lost a lot of friends because of this. So I just say now that I'm ok. People just don't want to know about your health issues.
One of the reasons it’s better not to complain too much is that people will start pushing their beliefs about supplements and what food to eat and avoid. It drives me crazy.
"Slowly but surely I'm getting there" is not true for me. I've been at it for years with focus on recovery and the future and no improvement to symptoms have been realized. I usually say "some days aren't as bad as the others. I'm still focusing on the search for something that'll help."
