It seems as if people see I'm weak and set out to bully me. Family or strangers; in-person or online.

Those are the people to be deleted. Your people will never bully you. Never. 🤗

My brother once said those same things to me. Common insensitive responses?

Great two-in-one question! I never try to wear my depression, but it's like a heart on my sleeve, and my only sibling has angrily responded that "You are not the victim here!" and often, "What's wrong with you?!?" It's not bullying, but it's a failure to understand or be empathetic.
