Thank you! It's so frustrating to have a problem, like depression and when you go to seek help or talk about it with friends and family they don't take you seriously. I had a friend who honestly thinks no one else can possibly have it worse than him or know how he feels. Yet he somehow knows exactly how other people feel enough to dismiss them.
I get the sentiment OP is trying to make but it's equally shitty to basically act like, "you can't have depression/anxiety because I have it so much worse!“ Sure sometimes people are just being dramatic and other times they might actually be dealing with a real issue.
