Are there any success stories or tips. To combat low self esteem feel happy with yourself and have positive language.

Hi, I'm huge believer in knowledge. Read everything you can on the subject . Understanding anxiety and depression,self esteem can and will help you. There are lots of books on amazon about it. I'm currently reading a book called cognitive behavioural therapy for dummies despite the title it is a very good book. There are also lots of apps available, I'm using calm.com and head space both good. Try writing a journal about how you are feeling. Stay with this forum and talk to us about how your feeling, we all understand and don't judge. It's a wonderful site Hope this helps. Hugs x

that was a very useful response my dear, I have bought a lot of books via Amazon, one of them Depression - the curse of the strong, written in plain English, with a lot of insight of the condition

HI guys yes I definitely agree talking on here or with trusted family members or friends is a great idea. I have noticed though for me, I find that the more I try to keep busy and stop thinking about why I am feeling sad/ anxious the better I feel. But try different things and see what is best for you.

Being unperfect is what makes you perfect

I find that talking to people that don't know my condition help me to boost my confidence, but certainly your family and your close friends are the first port of call,
