I eat myself up all the time over my insecurities. I basically fight all the time about things I can’t change like my looks or what people think of me. I think I got over my sz and was left with the things that put me there. I want to change my logic on how I overreact to these things. Are any of you good at not eating yourself up over these things?
Just change the things you can and accept those that you can’t change. That’s my philosophy.

I think it is a lot more complicated than just deciding that I shouldn’t care about that stuff though. I think therapy would be a good step. I don’t have access to it at the moment though.

Not unless my dx changes or I end up back with a cmht. I think there is a local lottery funded program, it is not exactly traditional talk therapy though. I have been thinking about getting back on it again.

Honestly it not something you will get through overnight. It takes time and practice. It’s just getting through the thought of “I don’t want to be miserable anymore” so then you put in the work to build the self esteem and get rid of the insecurities

I think I kind of have the attitude that I will just fix everything wrong about me, I kind of just get frustrated when there is things I can’t change though.
But honestly there isn’t anything wrong with you. It’s what other people’s opinions that make you think there’s something wrong with you. It took work for me to realize to be OK with who I am and what I’ve become and screw what everyone else or society thinks of me. I love myself and I love what and who I’ve become.

For me personally it all starts with self care. That includes a healthy diet so I’m not worried about my health and feel physically good bout myself. It includes morning meditation this can as take as 30 seconds. Just a strong positive focus. Talk therapy. Valuing life in whichever form that takes.

You don’t have to do anything for low-self esteem, it just occurs naturally.
It’s fairly easy to get if you try.

I have struggled with self esteem issues for years and what really helped me was writing out what I felt the sources for all my various self esteem issues were. Then I addressed each of those sources and pointed out why it was flawed to base my self esteem on those things.

Low Self Esteem,
is a Vicious Criminal That Hides Around Every Corner, Within The Resting’s of Your Mind. Illusions & Reality. Comfort. Discomfort. Pushing. Switching. Nudging. Shifting. Peering Down. Looking into. Voids. Mirrors. Creatures. Creepy Crawlies. Clouds. And The Lights Beneath The Stars in The Sky.
There is an End, to The Neverending Tunnel. With or Without Lights.
Simplistically Put, it’s Within The Sphere of Positivity. As Thom Yorke Says, Quoting The Bible, in The Song, ‘Give Up The Ghost’. By Simply Saying, GIVE UP THE GHOST.
It’s Easy to Say. And Simply Put, Much Easier to Do. All it Takes is Fear. Facing The Fear. Rising to Your Weary Feet. And Taking The First Step into That Fear.
Commonsense Should Be The Ruler in Thus Kingdom of Uncertainty. If Your Intuition, And Instincts Are Warning Your Aura, And Shadow. Then Step Back, And Wait Quietly For The Storm to Pass. You Will Find Then The Next Step in Thus Puzzle of Fear in The Sphere of Self Esteem is Simply, One More Step.
Into The Fear. As You Slowly Chip Away The Sand Castle of Lies And Self Defeat.
You Are Much More Than You Give Yourself Credit For.
Is What You Will Realize Soon Enough.
As The Constantines Say in The Song, ‘Soon Enough’, ‘Soon Enough, Work And Love Will Make a Man Out of You’.
And if You Are a Woman. Well, The Same Goes to You.
Soon Enough!.
