Constantly looking for reassurance and comfort

[mat74]

I am sure it has been discussed many times but is anyone like me and constantly looking for reassurance and comfort re anxirty and depression etc? When I am busy symptoms ease and also say I have a GP appointment, when I come out I feel better even though nothing has been prescribed.

This follows on from my other thread posted earlier.

Depression and anxiety can make you very needy,and reassurance is very comforting at the best of times,but particularly when you feel like that.
I think your confidence can take a knock as well.
I've learned to not discuss it too much with close family to give them a break,or at least space the moans about!
