(((hugs))) I relate totally. I just started 6th form and I am one of the very few who hasn't taken psychology, where they are leading about mental health and the talk is all the time. The current topic they are studying is antidepressants and my friends always give me this look if they start to discuss their homeworks and things. It drives me crazy. My best advice is jut to breathe, tell yourself it's not everyone trying to make to feel anxious and put you on the spot (as I often feel) either try and remove yourself from the situation or do what I do, do something to distract you so you don't think about it? Do you have a form tutor? I spoke to mine and told her all about my depression and when I was worried and stuff. You could tell your tutor some of what you have put on here and stress your worries and concerns, and then maybe she/ he can do something about it in a subtle way? It seems really wrong that your teachers said stuff like that, so many people are address by mental health and some of them comments were so insensitive. Hugs xx
