what’s the worst advice you’ve gotten from a believer

i have had depression pretty much my entire life. my mom's advice was that it was satan trying to hurt me, that i should just think happy/positive thoughts instead of negative ones, that all people, her included, have depression, and that it's just a phase/me being a "typical teenager." she's basically implying that depression is a choice and i should just choose to think happy thoughts instead of negative ones. i think that's just a really bad excuse to do nothing. i can't wait until i become an adult so i can have a life, and i hate that i have to be a "good girl" until i'm in my 20s (i don't know what kind of degree i want yet) because she will probably cut my college fund if i don't keep faking the christian shtick.
