[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 82272"] Well, I got a good night's sleep and am in a much better frame of mind today. I do hold up a mirror to her. I don't do the victim mentality at all. It almost always involves more accusations of being mean to her, not caring, etc., with some 'you just don't understand' thrown in. BUT, it has worked in the long run. I've noticed in the last year that she is really starting to check her behavior with friends and making a conscious effort to weigh her words instead of just blurting things out. I think her recent statements of noone liking her are a manifestation of her depression (which fuels her anxiety even more). It's a familiar cop out. I mean, she went to the fair a couple of weeks ago with friends, ran into more friends and had a great time. 5 minutes later (literally), she was crying and said she didn't have any friends.
