A herd of teal deer

heylittlelion:

Note: The cure for asthma is not, “Just breathe!”, and the cure for cancer is not, “Stop growing those cells!” Similarly, the cure for depression is not, “Just be happier!”, and the cure for anxiety is not, “Stop worrying so much!” These are not phases of life for teenagers and the weak-minded - they are serious and chronic medical illnesses.

Yes!

(Though to be honest, I’m asthmatic and have totally gotten the “just breathe” and “just stop coughing” routine. Basically, there is probably no illness for which Just X is the appropriate response.)
