I have been struggling with my mental health for a while and am currently battling anxiety, depression and an eating disorder. As you can imagine it's really hard at the moment, but I wonder sometimes whether I can be a bit too sensitive to comments.
A friend of mine (who knows how ill I am) made the following observations about someone who is suffering depression: nice house, lovely partner, decent income and therefore has no reason to be depressed.
AIBU to think that this is a really nasty and ignorant thing to say? I know it wasn't about me but you can say all of the above about me (and it's why I didn't seek help for far too long) so does she think I have no "reason" to be depressed? As if it is something I can control?
