1. Your personal experience only comprises a VERY SMALL PART of human experience. 2. You are NOT IN THESE PEOPLE'S SHOES. Even when you are a peripheral part of their life, YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE THEM. YOU DO NOT GET TO JUDGE. 3. Being told to "buck up" and "don't wallow" is part of the problem. Don't be part of the problem. Check your ableist privilege. When you don't feel good, haven't felt good and might never again feel good, "bucking up" is THE HARDEST THING IN THE WORLD TO DO. If you are not in that situation, thank your deity of choice, be quiet and stop telling people who ARE in that situation how to feel or what to do.
