My first psychiatrist told me if I lose 1 more pound he would put me in the. Hospital. It worked.
My self-esteem and self confidence have never been high, but there are times when they go even lower. I've finally figured out that my worst depressive periods are effectively a direct result of circumstances in which my self-esteem takes a hit. I find myself failing in relationships, career, pretty well anything important to me, and those external markers wreak havoc with my sense of self. I know I should be able to generate self-esteem and confidence internally and not based on externals… read more

I have a close family friend whom I want to trust to tell my life with Depression. He's also a doctor. I want it to be in confidence and not let it get back to my family. My family doesn't know about my latest psych hospitalization.
Note: This man is the Only one to stand up to my brother and tell him that he likes me and will continue to see me and my husband on a social bases.
I love him like a brother since I was in high school ( 1987).

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… read more
Hello everyone! I just got through the worst of a severe depressive episode, but I still deal with moderate symptoms. My issue is being employed always increased my self-esteem (which is zero right now) but I fear going back to work due to low self-confidence. I quit a job 1 1/2 years ago and want to return but I'm afraid I'll relapse and have to quit. On the other hand a job would possibly improve my self-esteem and my depression. I am a nurse. Any advice you employed folks dealing with… read more
Oooo, you could get work instantly with those skills, and can be selective of employers, I would think.
So, do you have a good support system in place, Jules?
