This may kind of tie into my last post about anxiety sticking around awhile after a traumatic (yet not dangerous) event. I have PTSD from actually dangerous events, if that is at all relevant, but I also have more generalized anxiety. Ever since a bad break up with a boyfriend, years ago, I have been more needy and clingy. I wasn't that way particularly with him, but he did some very bad things and I felt completely abandoned and betrayed by him. Now I cling to my new boyfriend and friends very desperately. I need them to love me and forgive me and I feel like I need someone constantly to talk to, if need be. I need to have deep relationships with people and I get anxious if they don't seem to need me as much as I need them. I thrive on deep relationships (and ddi before I became needy). I don't know if it's a fear of abandonment (which I don't think I usually have...) or something else.
