It's very hurtful when the people who are supposed to be there for you turn around and say this kind of things instead. I've had firsthand experience... [mild TW for verbal abuse]

My therapist:
"You choose to feel this way, so you can choose to not feel this way if you want to." - Guess my brain has a "depression-OFF" switch I just haven't found yet?
"So long as you choose not to be normal, you'll never be at peace." (she had an obsession with 'normal' people)

My mum:
"You like to be the victim!"
"You talk about this like it's our fault. All we ever did was out of love. Quit blaming us!" (she has to make EVERYTHING about herself, but somehow it always end up being my fault)

My dad:
"If I got over [my anxiety] all by myself, so can you. It's all about willpower."

And my personal favorite... from one of my 'friends' back when I was younger...
"You just want attention." (not from you I don't, scumbag...)

I don't go around telling people I'm sick, either. I used to actively search for a T after the latest fiasco (the one I quoted), but lately even that seems useless. At least my boyfriend is supportive when I don't p*** him off too badly with my moods...
