people are making me depressed with their sympathy.

My baby is in the NICU and everyone is treating me like a victim and it's really getting to me. I'm generally a strong person and I'm taking everything day by day because this is very new to me, I understand the severity of the situation and I'm just trying to stay positive and strong and count the days until I can take my beautiful baby home but when people treat me like a lost puppy it really gets to me because I don't want anyone to feel bad for me! Because in turn that makes me feel bad... idk if I'm even making sense but yeah.. Sigh
