...I have to take medication because...of people who seemed to get some sort of perverse pleasure out of making me feel bad...

In my head I boiled your comment down to that, and it hit pretty hard. I have had people encourage me to take anti-depressants because of my reaction to the way they're treating me.



I'm on your "friends" side with family members. You made me reconsider some aspects of the situation.


There's a word for that. Gaslighting.
