I think my family has started to really understand that it's hurtful when they ask things like this. It really bothers me when people use my mental illness against me. It's a disease. And I don't want it to be used as an excuse.
I have really been thinking of approaching someone in HR about this. I don't know if this is something I can approach them on? For now, I have been putting on headphones and ignoring her sighs, muttering under her breath, and her complaining.
