You’re so right. Toxic positivity is so harmful to people struggling. I think deep down most of us know it will all be okay but right now? Right now we can’t see past the hurt so telling us to smile and think of the bright side and yay happy just makes it worse. You’re right. All we can focus on is the now. And thank you for sharing that; I bet it wasn’t easy to do.

I’ve had it with bumper sticker advice 🙄🙄🙄 I can’t do another conversation like: “Focus on the positive!”, and I ask “Such as?” and the answer is “Oh you’re stubbornly sticking to your pain! You don’t want to get better!” I’ve had with everybody around me “knowing” how I feel!!!!
