People telling me things will get better was not helpful but….
People would tell me things would get better but it hurt more. When I personally felt things getting better after being worse multiple times after over 10 years later I understood for me. People just telling me was depressing and invalidated me. I would never tell someone that.

valid to feel upset about people telling you things will be better for you without even knowing what things really are like for you ... it's like giving hope but without any assurance and when there's no certainty and if things don't get better... disappointment happens and turns into deeper hopelessness...all too difficult to deal with :(
me thinks people say that with good intention to try to comfort and so that the person struggling might feel lighter and better or more hopeful about getting better but little do they know sometimes an uncertain assurance can be more disturbing ... 😅
