What is something someone said to you that hit you the hardest?

"You will never be happy if you keep punishing yourself." Said to me by my husband. I've been dealing with depression and anxiety since I was a teen and the last few years it got worse. I started doubting myself and harshly criticizing everything I did or said. I let my past mistakes consume me to the point I couldn't see all my blessing in the present. I let the past hold me back from my dreams and goals.

It's been about a year now that I've been on a journey to improve my health (physically and mentally). It hasn't been all smooth sailing, I still slip up sometimes and have a bad week. But those bad days are becoming fewer and fewer. I've felt much better than I have in years!

Although those words hurt at the time, I'm am very thankful for my husband. Although he is blunt when he thinks I need to hear something, he is also my loudest cheerleader.
