Do you think Depression could have anything to do with how I seem to develop crushes on people way too fast? Or could it have something to do with how I always seem to obsess over stuff? Bad thoughts, food, words thrown at me. All I know is when I get someone who wants to support me (which is rare) I almost immediately become infatuated with them. I am a creep, this I know.

I do think depression can be a factor.in how you get infatuated as you say. Especvualy if the person is supporting you you could be afraid you might loose them ...... But you can also have underlying reasons for the way you behave bad a good idia would be to talk to a council our or phi artist about it all and tell it all to them so they can help you ...... Take care .....god bless
