How To Get Back Confidence After 8 Years Of Abuse.
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

It's not really low self-esteem, it is more like the anxiety of asking myself " Am I worthy of a new relationship?" I just do not know if I could handle another rejection

for me the breaking point was the talk about sex allthe time, your life experience sounds just like mine, but i am a survivor and try my hardest every day to live this life of depression and the loniness that goes along with it

I was rejected most of my life.

I was told I was short, I was skinny, I was funny looking.

"You are friend material. "I like you, just not in that way" "You are a nice guy, I am just looking for someone who is my type."

I won't lie, the first person who showed me interest was at my age of 33. Yes, I only had my first gf at 33.

I was rejected more time than I can count before then.

At 33, the first person that showed me interest, I thought I was worthy, I married.

I did not think I was worthy all my life before this.

I was accepted. Now, it is complicated, and I realize, just because I was accepted and not rejected, it was not the right reason to get married.

I thought being worthy was the answer.

Now I know,worth of a relationship for me was maybe not the right question that needed to be answered.

I still don't know what the answer is, but, worthy is not it.
