Have you tried?

 Chronic illness and depression is bad enough without unhelpful hints for folk. 

After living on a wonderful forum learning about what folks say about hearing you are chronicly ill, they offer up the-

- Have you tried...

Yoga, stretching, 
any sort of exercise 
Breathing, yawning
border lining exorcise
Gain weight, lose weight 
Herbal complementary 
Just talk about your certain pain
with traumatizing therapy

Clean air, no air
Amble in countryside
Hug trees, and bees
Brain must be unoccupied 
New age, no age
Meditation isn't far
The answer to your problems
sticking pretty crystals down your bra

Thinking, praying
Swearing and profanity 
No God? Why not?
that borders on insanity 
Thinking, winking
 sure it isn't karma?
The reason for my problems
I will ask the Dalai Lama

New pills, no pills
Money spent on clinical
Gas lit, no shit
Doctors being cynical 
New pain, old pain
Saying have you tried?
Yes I think I really have
But I really am quite tired
