I can't really say I lost confidence or self-esteem because I never had much there to lose. I do think I dipped into the negatives there. Didn't lose friends either, never had any.
I did however lose my interests and the ability to be interested, a lot of money, my sense of purpose in life (and the possibility I was never supposed to have one or find one distresses me), much of my health, and definitely my future. And conceivable one, at least.
