Thanks guys. It's always good to post on here and get it out, and to know I'm not alone.

Yes me too. It's hard when its family though, or a pdoc. I have to just deal with it. But I hate it - I find it hurtful to be called "over sensitive" because it is usually done with an air of judgment and dare I say it disdain. Which of course just adds another layer of shame into the mix. It's like a self-defeating cycle. Someone says something hurtful so I cry, then I get told I'm oversensitive for crying, and then that adds insult to injury and I cry some more. And then I feel totally stupid. ARGH! So sometimes I think "I will just never say anything to anyone about how I feel ever again!"
