Major recurrent depression, anxiety disorder, ptsd, eating disorder..codependency, and more.

I don't think I've ever been mentally healthy. I keep fighting and going back and trying new things. I'm on a new added medication that seems to have raised my baseline some in the few weeks I have been taking it. I am also in a 6 month weekly DBT class. It's a slow road, but I have a great therapist and we really click. I just wish I could see her more often.

One of my favorite things I have heard is, "Would you tell someone with cancer to 'Just get over it?' There is no difference."

There sure is a difference. But that's just my take on it, no need for anyone to get nasty about it. If you don't like my take on the matter, nobody's forcing you to react to it.
