This is an immensely helpful guide. There are certain comments that people make that do more harm than good. Although they may be trying to help, people never seem to understand that we just want to vent and need a shoulder and a listening ear. Just a sympathetic hug would be nice, instead of the usual, “Well it would help if you exercise/eat better/get out more/stop stressing out so much/have a better attitude.” There are no words to sufficiently emphasize how angry those comments make me. There is just no excuse for saying those things – ever.
