News of Self Esteem

Whenever I talk to people, who I am close(est) too, it takes just a tiny prod for me to go into a spiral.

I do suffer from Panic Attacks, I have no idea if I suffer from real depression; as in, medically, but I do tend to get depressed frequently.

As I said before, if I am talking to someone I am quite close to, it would take but 1 thing said from them, and ...

Hi All

I am new to this forum. I have quite low self-esteem and I struggle daily with thinking that people think negatively of me and know that there is something wrong with me.

I can think logically about the fact that, in reality, I am an okay person but I just don't really believe that on a deep level. I just have this gnawing feeling that there is something wrong with me, I am ...

Just a vent...

Feeling really low about myself right now, more so than I have in a really long time. Let me give you some background.
