or alternately, acting in an unsafe and careless manner
lots of unwanted nervous feelings or feeling out of control
low grade, lingering depression sometimes lasting for many years
difficulty imagining your future, or an inability visualizing good things in your future or using good judgment for your future (see also acting in an unsafe manner)
