When I was in my early 20s I was near tears in my doctors office telling her that the health issues I was dealing with were ruining my quality of life and that I was so exhausted and in so much pain all the time that all I could do was go to work and come home and go straight to bed and had been like that for months. I was near suicidal and extremely depressed. She said “stop being dramatic, you could have cancer”.

Yeah, while perspective is important, this just using people suffering from cancer as bat to stop a slight annoyance.
I have found that in the most cases it is far, far better to simply let the person cry their frustrations out, allowing the built up emotions a safe outlet, then when they have calmed down, start focusing on even the slightest positivity they can work with, after that you can start adding humor to the situation and in that you can add perspective.

Average American health insurance agent on their way to inform a 6yo they’re not covered.
