Ok a bit embarrassed but i suffer anhedonia, lack of pleasure in anything so mostly the only thing i can feel is fear
Ive tried practicing being confident or assertive but i can’t do it, im like a mouse tbh. I struggle feeling worthless and the voices play on this. My sense of self is very low self esteem. I feel intimidated by everyone and hubby ugh
Im a train wreck honestly. Ive been trying to deal with it since teenager and im in my forties
Anyone struggle with anything similar? Anyadvice?
I think maybe i should take the antidepressants
I cant live like this its unbearable
Sorry to moan
Hey, minimum dose of ad helped me with something very similar. Maybe you should ask for them!
By minimum I mean the entry dose which is 20 mg
Ive been prescribed prozac but i was too quick to dismiss them. I will take them again. Thanks
It takes like a month. You will still struggle a lot until then, you will struggle a bit less.
Maybe try Wellbutrin its good for negatives, depression and quitting smoking. 3 in 1.
If it has “well” on his name I´m in too 
I think here wellbutrin is only prescribed for smoking they wont give it as ad
Im in uk
This is fixable.
As far as self esteem goes, maybe you can try building it back up by trying something small and relatively non-complicated— maybe make an easy and healthy meal or snack, color something, or try something a little out of your comfort zone.
Just the fact that you’re trying something, and accomplishing a small goal can help build up some self esteem and get your momentum going to try something bigger if you’d like.
Thanks but its chemical imbalance depression
Im just like working it out by chatting here
Nothing wrong being like a mouse.
You are a good person. Your likable.
Cute from your selfies.
I just think we all struggle with symptoms of the illness and thats the challenge.
Cheers! @Kxev
Its a slog uphill battle

Meditation 
is something that can help. You have to sit and listen without judging. Separate your self from these thoughts and feelings. They are not you.
yes i have low self esteem and confidence. i have always been avoidant as well.
For me I stay on minimum dose of AP, more medicine wasn’t the answer for me it just makes me feel worse and worse.
Lifestyle changes makes it better too
I suffer from avpd. It sucks!
I had the same problems. Ruined my life. Never found love and lack of emotional support made it difficult to handle boring jobs. I don’t really know what the chemical imbalance is, if things are too overwhelming or seem hopeless.
