Oooh! This dialogue is just… super authentic. Eating right, sleeping well, and exercising can be very… loaded phrases, and when you’re depressed or having anxiety/perfectionist issues, taking care of yourself can be just another club to beat yourself with. Ellery’s concern here is genuine and commendable but it’s a definite pitfall in relationships between anxious/depressed and non-anxious/depressed people, to come to an understanding together about proper balance between accepting/reciprocating concern and not shutting oneself off while the other grapples how to express love and support without having it sound like “can’t you just not be anxious/depressed?”

As you can tell, they don’t have the best relationship. :/
