I have never been so insulted in the whole of my life.

I am so upset. Today wasn't easy for me. I have shown so much courage going back to uni, after everything. And this bastard who knows f*** all about me insults me. I was trying to locate my uni card to get through the barriers at uni, and this boy asks me what I had in my box, I said a cake and then he says show me, so I did. Then he says is it chocolate and I was like yes, and then he just says are you depressed? And I'm like no. And then he says well usually girls eat chocolate and cakes when they're depressed, and I said well I'm not like normal girls, and then I walked away from him. What a bastard. He had no right. He knows nothing about me.
I am so angry, tears are streaming down my face as I write this.

Exactly, this person doesnt know you... Just keep that in mind because he may have been having a joke with you, maybe an ice breaker to get to know you? Probably not the best joke to make but like you said he doesnt know what you've been through... If he did I'm sure he wouldnt have made that joke.
Hope your feeling better today.. xxx

I agree with the other poster he might have been trying to be funny and probably doesnt understand what depression is all about.  Big hugs to you and try not to let these people get under you skin I know it is easier said than done.

Does he know that you suffer from depression?  If yes, then he was out of order.  If not, then he didn't really do anything wrong and I'd say he was just trying to make conversation and never meant to upset you.  I know it's hard and depression makes us sensitive to comments, but it really helps to try to put things in perspective.  I know it's difficult.  Big hugs.

Hugs to you.

It sounds like he was being silly and joking but either way a little rude. He probably didn't realise how insensitive that actually was xx

I just think he was a compete arsehole and he had absolutely no right to speak to me. I don't know him, I'll never recognise him again. It is just his rudeness. I would never dream of speaking to a stranger and saying something like that. Imagine if I still suffered from anorexia and a stranger said 'Why you eating fruit are you anorexic?' He just disgusts me. And any ignorant person like that needs shooting. Sure I'm 'sensitive' but I've walked through hell this past year so I'm certainly entailed to feel hurt when some stranger blunts diagnosis at me. My depression is only a small part of me. It has taken so much courage to return to uni, and then some bastard belittles me. I don't care if he didn't realise, the point is people don't know what another person has experienced, so they shouldn't be so blunt.

I just can't deal with stupid people. Besides what's wrong with eating a lush cake? :)

I remember  just a few years ago when I worked for someone else (I have my own business now), I was trying to lose weight and had a bit tub of salad which I was eating in the break room, the boss came in to make a coffee and thought it was funny to comment on me eating like I was a pig eating from a trough.  I cried when he went out but now I just think he showed himself up as an arsehole.  It feels crap at the time but the pain will fade, and besides, you are the most important person in your life, don't waste time thinking about him.
