It’s especially difficult when people tell you it’s no big deal and you should just get over it and try harder.

This! This! A thousand times, THIS!!!

True for depression, true for anxiety, true for pretty much any mental or emotional problem. People who don’t get it, DON’T GET IT, and their ‘sharing their experiences’, like “When I feel down, I just tell myself to get over it, and I feel much better!” is tantamount to mental cruelty.
