It seems since I was officially diagnosed with anxiety and depression almost two years ago that I've just had trouble maintaining my friendships. This is mainly because of my actions e.g. becoming over-clingy and being a bit of a downer around people when depressed. It's now to the point where I know a couple of people don't like me anymore and I just feel like I've out used my welcome with others. This makes me angry and more depressed, at times it feels like everyone is against me for having anxiety and depression. I don't think some people really understand what it's like to be socially anxious and I've been told that I don't take advice (I do, it's just that I don't always show it). On the other hand I can see where my friends are coming from.
