Clingyness A girl I really liked lost interest in me because I was too clingy due to my anxiety , she's someone who got a lot of guys and I was always anxious when she would go to a party she would get with another guy, has anyone else been affected by being too clingy ? | self.Anxiety |
How do you start over when you’re so depressed to begin with Lost my business. Totally collapsed. It will take 5 months to a year to rebuild. There’s no guarantee it’d be a success. I’m (40) worried about the future. Right now, instead of working, I just lie in bed feeling hopeless. I cried for the first time in years.... | self.depression |

Is depression just abysmally low self-esteem and self-worth I ask this as someone who is also depressed. My depressive thoughts are extremely self-critical. I mean, objectively, I know they're overly self-critical, but it doesn't change the fact that I feel like an utter travesty of a human being.
