Never say these things to someone dealing with these

• Anxiety: Just calm down, everything will be fine. There is nothing to be worried about. Stop freaking out all the time.
• Depression: Stop being sad all the time. People out there have it worse off than you. Cheer up nothing is wrong.
• Sexual Orientation: It's just a phase. How can you know you are____ unless you had sexual experience.
• Bipolar: It's just mood swings, everyone has them.
• Self harm: Stop seeking attention. Stop trying to kill yourself.
• Eating disorders: Just eat. Stop being so picky.
• Abuse: Report who hurt you.
• Suicide: Stop being so cowardly.
• Sexual assault: You shouldn't have dressed like that. We were drunk, but you still said yes. You never outright said no.
• Multiple Personality Disorder: You are making it up. There is no such thing. They are just your imaginary friends.
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder: It happened in the past, stop obsessing over it. Get over it.
