I would not think you would have low self esteem you seem very charismatic on here! I think you are very cool and friendly, maybe try to move your online persona offline?

I pushed myself too hard/was manicâŠcrashedâŠand burned. Now Iâm back in the real world scenarios instead of living through a fantasy world and the trauma gets to me. Doing a little better on Zoloft and starting a new therapist Tuesday which will help. Btw, thank you!!!

Okay, just take it one day at a time and maybe even try CBT. Med changed helped me to overcome PTSD But unfortunately took me around 2 years and now there are some remnants of it still.
You need to trick your mind, it is like a sponge, so feed it what you want to accomplish. HUGS

EasyâŠmaybe not. Confidence and self-esteem are built by repeated action, i.e. by repeatedly doing things that build your confidence and self-esteem. Generally speaking, repeated actions in the social arena are more likely to build self-esteem , e.g., getting better at public speaking is more likely to build confidence and self-esteem than getting better at Sudoku.

I have a great self esteem. Iâm not going to say what I owe it to. I should, but I wonât. I didnât always have a great self esteem. I used to be helpless and terribly hopeless and suicidal to boot. Not anymore. Nor will I ever be again. Iâm very happy and content and have been for the past thirteen years. With my diagnosis of sza and long history of depression and suicidal ideation and attempts, that is practically unheard of. But, there you have it. And only one thing can be responsible for that.
I have no esteem. I donât hate myself nor like myself.
I really struggle with my identity.
That old clichĂ©, âThereâs a fine love between love and hateâ is particularly true of our relationship with ourselves. God knows I hate myself, for a number of reasons. I often cringe when I look at some of the stupid things I have done. I donât think it redeems you to hate yourself, but it does lessen the retribution you get from others.
