Be careful the way you treat others. Don´t use the worst.

I´ve decided to open this post given personal circumstances that happened to me today.
Today I had to do my final oral presentation on college.
Given the fact of many important circumstances (health issues mostly) our report (a group thing) wasn´t the best; although all the professors knew very well what was going on.
Still, I don´t object to constructive criticisms. The thing is that they were DESTRUCTIVE criticisms.
Those range from:
-If you were going to show that better not have shown anything at all; especially hurtful since I, literally , had to crawl all the way there from my house since I have a muscular condition.
(We gave the professors toasted bread with dips because it relate to our presentation)
-The best thing were the dips. Although I wasn´t sure to try them just in case you´d put drugs on them to make me believe you had a good presentation.
Really? Was that necessary? Be treated like that (following their directions have to say) from people that are my age or around it?
I felt like I was in a reality show full of the mean judges.
Why do I say be careful with that?
Because of my health conditions (and other stuff) I´m in fact depressed; I´ve been before.
I was emotionally and physically abused since a kid. I even hurt myself and tried to suicide.
...of course, I´m not going to do it again. However, given these circumstances and could have as well tried to do something bad to me. And the same thing goes to everyone.
You don´t know what´s going on in another person´s life. So, why treat someone so mean? Does that makes you feel powerful? Do you enjoy hurting someone´s feelings? Making a joke out of someone in front of everybody? Just because?
You may never know if just because you felt like it at that moment how a deep impact it can have in other´s life.
So be careful Most of the times the worst way is never the best way.

I have had moments where others judge me in the moment of a day when I'm a trainwreck because of something I'm going through, which is unfortunate. I've tried to avoid thinking the worst of people or gossiping since I've been on the receiving end myself before, even though I'm sure that's hard for people on here to believe of me considering how direct and bitchy I can be when I express my opinions. 
It is sad when people choose to cast judgment when that's the moment when someone most needs your mercy (even though that sounds dramatic, but I have felt that way before; instead of offering help in a dark moment, they choose to tear you down even farther).
