How do I deal with very low self esteem on my period?
on normal days, my self esteem is ok. on my period and a few days before it that's a total of 5 7 days I have very low self esteem...I don't know why. I could barely interact with people and it's very hard for me to get out of my house and talk to anyone except family and I just get nervous in general. Does it happen with anyone else? and has anyone found a solution?
Is this depression? low self esteem OR am i just being selfish and unappreciative?
is this depression? low self esteem OR am i just being selfish and unappreciative? i have become extremely apathetic with life. I have good friends, a loving family and have achieved the goals i have set myself so far in life, and yet i feel nothing. i have not laughed or cried in over a year and i don't sleep anymore. i feel so incredibly jaded. I want to shake myself and appreciate moments for what they are and appreciate what i have in life but i cant do it. Sometimes i feel so empty and worn down that i can not physically talk. My friends will ask me a question and i will sit gazing and have to will myself with every strength i have to respond. I have also lost all confidence in myself.i never feel good enough and it gets me really down. i feel incredibly stupid and ugly most of the time. and it isnt based on logic because i have recently graduated with a first and i am told i am attractive. I just feel like two different people sometimes. when i am alone in my room, i feel ok and i can see the positive parts of myself but the moment i leave my room and enter the world around me i get a sinking feeling in my stomach and i feel completely and utterly inferior and i just want to curl up in a ball, get away from the world and cry. i feel at my worst when someone tries to compliment me.i can't shake this.what could be wrong? and how do i get help? or can i even get help, it seems like this is the personality i have.thanks.

How do i deal with low self esteem?
Hi there does aybody know how low self esteem can be treated. I have had this for as long as i can remember. I am an attractive lady with a beautiful little girl single mom and have a very good job with good prospects. For some reason when it comes to relationships i just cannot seem to get past my protective 'barrier' that i put up. I had a long term relationship with my little girl father who basically treated me very bad, cheated on me with anything he could and walked all over me, this lasted 10 years before i realised i had to get out. I did get a lot of confidence back in myself but i the thought of dating again sends shivers down my spine. I have had a couple of 'dates and flings' in the 3 years we have been seperate and i seem to be ok initially but then i kind of start to think that i am not worthy of this person and it will only be a matter of time before they go with someone else or hurt me. I just cannot get past this phase and it is becoming so bad for me that i literally try to avoid it alltogether now. Please can someone advise.
Scared to leave the house, no self esteem and paranoid? Help?
I'm constantly worrying. For example if I'm out in a shopping mall or whatever, I'll be thinking something along the lines of " Oh my god, what if the building collapses? The building's going to collapse I'm going to die AHHHH " constantly, and I get so jumpy and worked up that I have to get outside and breathe deeply for ages, or I start shaking and hyperventilating. I'm sort of OK if I'm with my mates, but I can't go out to busy places on my own. It's getting so bad that I just stay at home a lot of the time. I can't look people I don't know in the eye, I can't answer the phone or the door, and I always feel like people are laughing at how ugly and stupid I am whenever I go out.I've got really low self esteem as well. I hate myself how I look, how I act, everything. People tell me I'm pretty and I get good grades, but I just see myself as a stupid, ugly blob. I don't want to think like that, but I have done since I can remember and if I don't make a constant concious effort, I'll be grimacing at myself in the mirror and thinking " It's all your fault. You're stupid. Why do you even exist?" I've self harmed before as well, but not on purpose if that makes sense. I can't talk to my mates or family about this sort of stuff I've tried so many times, but I can't get the words out so it all builds up, and sometimes I get so overwhelmed that before I know it, I've cut myself and I'm bleeding. I feel so stupid for it I get really paranoid too. Like if my food has a slight mark on it or something, I automatically assume it's been poisonned and won't eat it. If the water tastes funny, it's been spiked. If I'm home alone and I hear a weird noise, there's someone in the house about to kill me. I know it's a bit stupid, but I can't help it and it really gets me freaked out SDo you think I should get some help with this? I'm terrified of doctors psychiatrists, and I know that I would freak out and run away if I ended up in one of their offices. So yeah, what do you think is wrong with me, can it be 'treated' or is this just who I am, and has anyone been through something similar? sorry for all the questions
I have really, really low self esteem. Please help me?
I used to be really confident but 2010 has been a really bad year for me. All I do is spend time on my computer, and all of my friends are too busy to do anything. My best friend, my brother, is at camp for 3 weeks, and my mom and stepdad work 24 7 btw my Dad is dead . And I am a huge nerd at school. I'm going to Japan in the fall for an exchange program, and I should be happy, but I'm not. I mean, I feel depressed and suicidal. I am really sensitive to insults and I get called gay all the time. IDK if I'm gay or straight and I hate my skin color...overall I don't know how to raise my self esteem.I am white...

Extremely shy and low self esteem..how can I change that?
My life is good, all except for the fact that I am extremely shy and I have low self esteem. It is so low that when I am in a group of my friends I just follow what my friends do and say, its like I have no spine. Don't get me wrong I do say " no" but saying no isnt always easy sometimes. Is there anyway to change my self esteem and outlook on life, cause so far its just boring and average. I was thinking of doing acting I heard that helps or yoga?
Since i was little i have been bullied, now im 18...i have no self esteem and think im not good enough.?
thing is, i know in my hearts of hearts that i am a nice person and that i am beautiful, just theres something inside of me that stops me from actually feeling it.What can i do to feel better? this has been going on for too long and my self esteem has been shattered by bullying, sexual abuse from my brother, physical abuse and emotional abuse from my parents, rape and being in an abusive relationship...sorry to complain but, i guess these are the reasons why my self esteem is low. I am receiving professional help but it is doing nothing to help what so ever.i just feel as though no guy would ever want to take me on knowing i have low self esteem, guys like confident girls..and while i put on a brave face, i'm never truly comfortable in my own skin.
