Self-help content sometimes enrages me. is that normal?

I’ve been in therapy for A&D for months now. I have made progress and I am happy that I am finally starting to see myself more positively.

But a lot of self-help content honestly frustrates me. The advice is always :

“Get up”

“Go for a walk.”

“Do what you love.”

“Stop making yourself sad.”

I agree that these things help but sometimes it’s just hard!! Like when you’re already struggling and trying hard every day, hearing it over and over can feel emotionally invalidating. If it were that easy wouldn’t we all be doing it??

Instead of encouragement such videos enrage me.

Does anyone feel this way?
