Working with anxiety and depression

I have a job, i also have anxiety and depression.

My employers and colleague doesnt know.

I work with a married couple who are the owners and just one other worker.

I always happy and welcoming to customers, but i admit away from customers im not skipping round the kitchen singing the sound of music, i just get on with it.

I keep getting what i consider snide remarks, and being put into a position where im expected to be lower.

My boss says things like in a jokey way but its like a critism and really its degrading, and its in front of the other worker.

I instantly get the blame for everything, and nothing is said when its not my fault in the end. I feel like overall im a good worker, and if im told im doing something wrong, properly spoken to, and explained how i can fix it or change, i will take it on.

The last day i was there, he seemed to play with these comments all day, and by the end he said well done, he saw a big improvement today. And he was expecting me to say thank you and be happy about his backhanded compliment. But i did nothing different that day to any other.

I know i might be at fault for not disclosing my mental health but they are not approachable, there is nowhere to talk in private and i feel like they will discriminate against me further.

Im not very good at confrontation and im not good at standing up for myself. I feel like my boss wouldnt dare talk to another male like that.

Would appreciate anyones imput.
