cjane - My mother would constantly bait me about touchy issues (like if I was having trouble with my bf, or my weight, or I didn't get invited to a party) and she would just push the issue until I was either crying, or so angry I was ready to physically lash out (once I actually threw a knife at her, luckily for her I have terrible aim) and then she would laugh at me for being so oversensitive or emotional. Its no wonder for years I had so much trouble being honest with myself and other people! I also suffer from anxiety issues and have been prescribed medication for it in the past. I think I might also have fibromyalgia but its never been diagnosed or anything.
