That's not being sensitive (I don't think) @Bananatron
Those type of comments can leave me feeling like "Nobody is listening" & that "I'm not being heard".
So, yes it can definitely bring resentment.
Like when I almost died (twice) in hospital (the doctors told me). The emergency surgeries went disastrously wrong...
Then several people said later "It could have been worse" & "You're lucky" etc.
I felt insulted & patronised.
Some people have absolutely no idea...

Hi @Bananatron
I too have anxiety and depression. And until a person has actually experienced it themselves, they will not understand. It is more than just being 'sad' or feeling 'stressed'. No, you're not being sensitive at all. You have a right to feel that way. *hugs*

Hi @Shaz51
Hi everyone.
My client had major incontinence today (without warning) - which was very stressful trying to clean up a widespread mess, without any bathroom facilities to do it with.
I then had to phone his group home, & take him home early - because he needed a total bodywash (shower or bath).
On the plus side, I bought a new Cockatiel (Weero) to replace my favourite, that died last night.
I phoned up & booked my Sleep Dr appointment - which is not available until late August (a 3 & 1/2 month wait).
I then phoned & booked the mechanic to service my car, ahead of time (this time)...
