"Just get over it."

Just get over a fear I've had my whole life?
Okay, I'll pretend I'm not about to pass out.

"Forget about it."

Forget about the one thing that plagues my thoughts day in and day out?
Okay, I'll think about worse things instead.

"Move on."

Move on from something that haunts my every minute?
Okay, I'll move onto more severe coping methods.

"Calm down."

Calm down after everything that's happened?
Okay, I'll just chill by taking those prescribed drugs.

"Don't worry."

Don't worry about anything?
Okay, I'll not worry because you telling me not to worry really helps my anxiety.

"Stop—"

Stop living?
Okay.

***

Just some arguments with myself that strangely have a way of making me feel worse.
