Oh yes. When "it gets better" is used a platitude, it's definitely not helpful.
I like to ask people, how can I help you? I like to think it gets people started thinking about what they can change in their lives. A lot of times, change just seems impossible, but if someone is holding your hand, I think it can make a world of difference.
Also, therapy was hugely helpful for me along the way. HUGE.
