Esterh- I will you hatzlacha with everything and will daven for you.
Please don’t let ppl’s stupid comments affect you. Yes, that person was a fool. Yes, they were rude and insensitive and yes it does hurt when ppl say things like that. i personally know that i became very sensitive to comments because there were so many and I was in such a vulnerable position and was so nervous myself that any comment would set me into negative thoughts. sometimes it is theraputic just to vent/ talk to someone close or if all else fails, here in an anonymous forum is also good.
I have so many stories I could write a book! Probably you do to..
I once had something similar when I was coming out of the hospital from a procedures and walking into my house and I was dressed in comfortable clothes and crocs because I wasn’t able to put shoes on afterwards and a neighbor comes and tells me it is inappropriate to wear crocs in the street.
Another time I was coming back from the surgery center and the driver who is also an EMT walks you in and supports you because you are still drowsy and another concerned neighbor called one of my mechanchot from HS to tell them they were concerned that I was letting men touch me.
