All that work and what did it get me

 Have you ever been in a situation where you go an extra mile, you put all the hard work and then you end up hearing that there was no need for it after all.

Yeah that disgusting feeling is what someone experiences when you tell them there's no such things as depression or anxiety.

Struggles with depression, anxiety and unresolved trauma is as real as it gets, and you telling them that it doesn't make sense and completely denying the thought of it is like you completely denying their Struggles and challenges.

And no your challenges and struggles do not match with their struggles, because it's not a competition, you cannot possibly experience the same exact thing and go through the same, everyone deals and goes through stuff differently.

You not acknowledging their struggles is only gonna make them distance from you, so you can either be an ignorant a*s or distance yourself from them intentionally so you don’t become a nuisance in them at all.
