I have always had low self-esteem. I don’t know why. I have always had very supportive parents and people that care about me. I guess that’s just the way I am wired.

Yeah me too. Except in my late teens and early twenties. I had higher self esteem then. Probably because I’d get compliments daily and felt productive. Then schizophrenia screwed me up.

If it wasnt for schiz my self esteem would be good. Low self esteem causes me great psychological pain.

Sometimes I’m ready to work and sometimes I feel loss of energy and ability to do work and it prevents me from having a job, we have lost the security of mind, we are mentally raped, some one has the key of our brain to steal or put things back and this uncertainty is a real burden,
When we heal completely and how is a mystery,

I beat myself up over the smallest things. And if my kids are sad I feel like I’m failing as a parent. My self esteem is definitely low.

Main method I can recommend is good treatment. Philosophical approaches don’t work very well when it comes to voices.

My nurse practitioner says I am cutting myself short. My best friend tells me I am selling myself short. I think it comes with the illness. People don’t want you so you don’t want yourself.
