Is this a part of depression?

[Peacewithin1]

Lately I've been feeling so needy for possibly affection or maybe attention. I feel emotional and my mind feels like I'm all over the place. I can't explain it. It's like I'm searching for something but idk what.

I'm not sure but i feel like that too. My parents don't understand, i have no friends, no job. I feel lost and i never had a relationship so yeah i crave affection and trust within someone. Too bad it seems like nobody thinks I'm worth their time.

I think you have to know and believe that you are more than worthy to be loved and loving. It's not about having a relationship because I have a relationship but still have these weird needy urges. It's something we have to recognize and fix ourselves. No matter How much attention or affection we get, it will never be enough until we pin point the root of the problem that lies within us. That's just my theory lol.

Amazing how you just put that into words! Yes, i been verablly and emotionally abused by my dad. Never felt like he loved me and never had a relationship with him even though my mom still married to him and i live with them. He abused her too but never left so i had to grow up with abuse. My mom has always been in denial. My dad also called me a b!#@% when i was just 12 years old. I lost respect for him ever since.

Abuse will do it! Especially if it's from the Man who is supposed to protect, love, and cherish You! One day You will learn that His Problem is not with or because of you... Tell yourself everyday you're beautiful, smart, worthy, loving, healthy, loved, and stable. When you believe it, so will everybody else but it's not about everybody else so focus on believing those things. Go on google and look up "I am" affirmations for prosperity and happiness if you haven't already. Learn to speak life in to yourself when others try to tear you down.

Thank you❤ that means a lot to me that you care and giving me advice. I hope you get better as well. My parents tend to "sweep things under the rug" like with mental illness even though they both have depression and anxiety themselves!

[Peacewithin1 in reply to Vonnah]

No Problem at all and Thank You. Sorry they're not listening to you. I hope you feel better too. Don't forget to look in to "I am" affirmations. Also, Pray on it if you like to pray 👐 Good Luck

I don't really have friends either. Do you have any work experience? There's this site indeed.com to look for a part time job and maybe you can build a resume on there to get you started. Maybe that will help you meet people. You can always message me.

[Vonnah in reply to Peacewithin1]

Thank you and yes i use that site it's really good and easy. I have one year of work experience and actually had a interview yesterday!

Maybe it's because you are feeling anxious lately, which releases oxytocin, which causes you to crave it. So once check for a self assessment for anxiety. Maybe on psycom.com. it's the best. I hope it helps you. Thanks!

Thank You I didn't realize it but you're right. I have been a little more anxious lately.
