Pestered, bothered (8)
I believe the answer is:
harassed
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'pestered' is the first definition.
(I know that pestered can be written as harassed)
'bothered' is the second definition.
(harassing is a kind of bothering)
(Other definitions for harassed that I've seen before include "Pestered continually" , "Pestered; under strain" , "in a state of torment" , "Plagued" , "Constantly tormented" .)
