Has a comment ever set you back?

This is a bit of a strange one.

I've been depressed on and off for years and have on the whole kept it to myself. I've been in an OK place recently but have felt much worse in the past.

I saw my Mum in the week and that evening she texted to ask if I was OK as I had seemed quiet. This threw me, as I thought I'd been fine, so now I'm over thinking, which is never good.

I feel like it's set me back and now I feel shit, which I know is silly. She didnt notice when I was bad but she did when I actually felt fine. I feel a bit weird when I talk to her now, like she thinks I'm hiding something.

Has an inoculous, well meant comment ever affected you like this?

Every day. I have to get DH to read my work emails sometimes as I see all kinds of shadows and hidden meanings in them.

Pressed send too soon. Sorry you are feeling rotten about it. It is a symptom I've found of depression which seems to be hand in hand with anxiety. Has she done this to you before?

Thanks living, no she's not normally one to say stuff like that and I thought I was OK, so I felt odd and confused by it. Having an 'at home' day today, can sometimes make me feel worse.

All the time too :(((, only may I add, in periods where my anxiety is bad!
Especially where my mums concerned, could be feeling good and she'll say, 'gosh, you look tired, sound tired, seem in bad form etc' and I for whatever reason, I start to feel terrible.

Think it's all apart of my anxiety
