Hi Everyone I hope you're as well as you can be.
I have a long history of depression and anxiety and have been quite stable for a while.
Long story short. I have an older sister who has bullied me for as long as I remember. Physical sometimes, but emotional after I became stronger than her.
I was out with both my sisters drinking yesterday. After my other sister left the abusive one reverted to type. She has this obsession with my work history which is chequered due to long bouts of depression. So she started criticizing me for that and in the hear of the moment I tried to defend myself.
Than out of nowhere she said 'you have no friends' and said my other sister said that. I don't know if that's true.
Anyway, that's factually not true. Although I live alone, and don't have a wide social circle, I'm pretty much happy with my social contacts as I have social anxiety and find relationships quite stressful and enjoy my own company.
I'm going on holiday now, on a train, but I've just been really down, anxious and listless and may not enjoy it. I consider what she did as bullying as it's designed to undermind my self esteem. I just don't know why she would say such a vile thing and that is causing the down mood.
Does anyone have any tips or pointers to help me reset my mood?
Has this forum gone a bit quiet in the last few months?
You are wonderful on here...

. But the first way you can fight back is not to let her ruin your holidays. Please try to get her out of your head - even if it’s just for however long your hols are
