I've gotten this a lot with various things, including stuttering. Like I say I have depression, and they go oh yeah, I get sad sometimes too. Or they tell me they're bipolar like me as well because they have mood swings. Or my friend, who is diagnosed with OCD, gets told by others that they're OCD too because they like things in certain orders. It feels like your struggles are being trivialized and it's frustrating.
