Yep. All that. No idea what to say that may be helpful or I'd have said it to myself and be all better now.
I sneer with disgust when friends send me motivational memes or pathetic platitudes and have to remind myself that they think it may be helpful. In reality it just illustrates how different our mindsets are; even though I've known some of many for years, and it drives a wedge between us.
