I keep some notes to remind me not to be too hard on other people when they appear sometimes to be insensitive. I keep them as notes on my mobile phone so I remember to have a quick look if I am a bit down or getting cross with people.
When people say "you look good/well" it is becasue they want you to be better and it is kindly mean't.
You make a lot of effort to look good so take it as a compliment.

To the outside world you may appear to look well and it may have taken alot of effort - if you had a broken arm or leg people would probably understand more. Its like a lot of illnesses - they are unseen. Ive suffered with depression for many many years, I was often told in the begining to pull myself together, I wish I could.
