Okay, first go to the general board and read my post entitled Isolation & Etiquette. Then add to this thread your "favorite" banal and trite remark that people say to you that just makes you feel worse. You know, those words that not only trivialize our experience but can also cause anger.
I am going to cheat and cut and paste from that post to get the ball rolling:

"Well, none of us knows what's going to happen. Any one of us could walk out the door in the morning and get hit by a bus."
"It will work out in the end"
"Everything is going to be just fine"
"I guess we should all really live like we're dying."

Or EricS's contribution:"oh you are such a strong person" or want the scoop and pointedly ask.."how are you feeling" with pity oozing from their tone.

Share with us the inane things you have been told so we can all laugh knowingly together about this
