I just have to laugh so that this doesn't bother me. Today my MIL told me that she doesn't understand anxiety, that she has situational anxiety or situational depression and that everyone has issues. And that she can rationalize herself out of any situation. Like how she was depressed when she moved and had two kids and couldn't get out of bed for months and then just told herself to get over it, and did.

I would just like to point out that having anxiety does not make you weak. I can rationalize and think logistically, but my brain has its own path that it takes. And that's fine, it's just something I live with and try to manage. 

It reminds me of "just flip a switch and turn it off". I would if I could :)
