“drinking more water” won’t cure you, but water is still good for your body and necessary for survival
“sleeping on a regular schedule” won’t cure you, but regular sleep is a natural mood stabilizer and will only help you
“going out in nature” won’t cure you, but the fresh air and exercise can often help your body feel more energized and give you a distraction from the day to day suffering
“going for a run” won’t cure you, but even if you can’t run, walk, letting your blood flow through your body is a good thing
“doing yoga” won’t cure you, but it could help you learn new ways of healthy coping and finding some peace in a scary whirlwind of mental illness
all the neurotypical advice that we love to hate won’t cure you.
but it won’t hurt you either.
I see your point but the main reason a lot of us are so defensive about it is that NTs dont take our illness seriously, and act that we are just being lazy, and they suggest these ways to help to mean “its that easy, yet here you are doing nothing” Like, we know its good to drink water, etc, its just that NTs have no business trying to “fix” us and be condescending with us, so a lot of people became naturally defensive when presented with this type of advice Thats my opinion at least
^ this.
too often when an NT gives me that kind of advice and i go “hey, i’m aware this is good advice and i would actually love to be able to follow it, but here are genuine reasons why i can’t, could you help me find workarounds?”, they just… either ignore me from then on, or proceed to call me lazy and ask “why don’t you just do it”, entirely dismissing the reasons i gave why i can’t just do it.
it’s exhausting and isn’t helping in the slightest.
