When you are experiencing symptoms of your mental illness in public and are feeling like crap (and look visibly so). So someone asks if you’re ok, and you reply along the lines of “I’m just not feeling mentally well” and they reply “same” because they had a minor inconvenience happen to them. When this happens to me I get kinda upset (especially when people are aware of your condition) because it feels invalidating that your mental disorder is at the same level of a someone’s slight inconvenience. I understand that said person might not know how to respond and is trying to connect by relating, but I just want to know if other people feel the same way. 

Thank you for taking the time to respond if you feel the same way.
