I do think my post was completely misunderstood by Pominoz, but having said that, if I thought what was being said was what he thought was being said, I'd tell me to Fuck Off too ;)
My point was actually about what we can do to ourselves inside our own heads by making negative comparisons. Negative mind talk is what we do 'to ourselves' and I gave examples of the kind of things we might say to ourselves.
I was not suggesting he had been given negative advice.
I was not invalidating anyone else's experience. There are some inspiring stories here and if they help Seosa all well and good.
I also know that when in a deep depression ( I have suffered with this for many years) it is very hard to hear how others might be worse off. When it's dark it's dark and sometimes it is all you can see. Being told 'don't worry mate there are others worse off' is not always of comfort.
