Yesterday, after our recent holiday party, my mom told me she was upset that my brother did not get them anything. Then said they were upset that my kids didn't make them cards or get them anything. I admit that is my fault, I should have told them to do so. I got them a small gift that I knew they would like and I reminded her about that. She has never said anything like this before and it made me feel awful about myself. When I feel guilty or bad for doing/not doing something I slide into depression. I felt so awful after talking to her yesterday I cut myself (which I don't do- yet recently have done a few times for first time in 20 years). Today I still feel like crap and I am going to talk to her about it to clear the air, but I can't seem to get out of this darkness and tears fall just sitting here.
I had been doing so good for past 2 months. Is this a borderline thing- being so affected by environment?

I just want to crawl back in bed and not go to my in-laws for Christmas tonight but there is no way I can get out of that.

It seems like no one can get to us like family, ozzy. I don't think this is necessarily a borderline thing. It sounds like a case of being hurt by the words of a family member who just doesn't get it. It happens all the time, and of course this time of year it REALLY happens all the time. Don't beat yourself up about it. Instead give yourself the Christmas present of being gentle to yourself. If you have to go to the in-laws, try to make the most of it, and know it won't last that long. Best of luck!

That stuff always blows over and from my experience it's better to try and forget those things rather than hash them out - that can only lead to more issues.

On the other hand I am renewing my life insurance and am scared I will be denied now that I do have a diagnosis.

Don't tell them. Or see if there is a way for them not to find out. Ask your psychiatrist for their advice.
