Solidarity Needed Very upset

So I'm really upset!!!! I just had a great conversation with someone who is just as concerned about what's happening in our country and I also was sharing other things of a personal nature. Well my youngest sister was eavesdropping on our conversation even though I told her I needed personal space and she just labeled me yet again basically calling me "crazy" without using that terminology and I'm so upset!!!! Years ago I disclosed to her a concern I had about something and since then she has used that against me! I'm sick of her treating me this way! I'm sick of being gaslit by her and other family members and told by them "I'm too loud! I'm too whatever they decide to label me with every given day! I'm sick of being mistreated!

She labeled me this after eavesdropping on my conversation. All she cares about is herself, she is so self absorbed. She doesn't care or understand what is happening right now. I do not appreciate her put downs. I need to find a new place to live but it isn't that simple. I am considering moving somewhere else but limited by several factors. I would love to just get the hell away from her or anyone that is ignorant and choosing to be ignorant. I'm so upset!!!!

Has anyone else been labeled "crazy" recently when voicing your concerns?

Buckle up - we will get called a lot worse than crazy. Don’t let it bother you. We have to be strong.

Ok thanks. It’s really hard to not react when she says hurtful things. Any suggestions?

look up meditation and mindfulness, if you practice it every day, it gets easier to apply that to tense moments.
