I understand this especially. I've often been told "you're overthinking this" or "you're overreacting." That's very invalidating and nobody should tell anyone that regardless of what mental illness they may or may not have. It's quite hurtful for someone to say those words. Alas, I can look back at some things and realize it was happening because of strong emotions which luckily (or so I think) can be kept in check better now.
