"'well if you'd just be more like everyone else' 'oh you're slow at deciding(among other things)how about I mock you in front of the class'"

I used to get that from my mother. Or... If people are telling you that they must be right. Well the truth is a hundred people could be telling you something and they could all be wrong. And who wants to be "just like everybody else" anyway! I don't know where you are with the stress (what's causing it, etc) but you can cognitively learn skills on how to be resilient to nasty comments. It means accepting control for your own actions only and relinquishing control of theirs. Allowing yourself to feel depressed or angry for more than a minute is giving them more power than they deserve. Resilience means letting it go ASAP and not allowing your emotions to get involved.
