I'm so hard on myself
I write off all I do well as no big deal
And the slightest mistake real or imagined I replayed over and over
Are there any good books or websites on increasing self esteem!
?

WRAS,

Let me do some digging around...I will post back.

It is of course essential for you to view yourself as a person of worth...so you are wise to seek help in improving self esteem...

...but for what it is worth, you are awesome in my book!! :)

I'll get back to you with some links,

I get to feeling like I'm a burden on my husband. He's had to do so much for me due to my physical limitations. It's easy to get to feeling down on yourself.

I know you must be important to so many people.

There's a book called "From Panic to Power" that sort of touches on a broad spectrum of causes for anxiety-- low self esteem being one of them! I highly suggest checking it out and seeing if you like it!

thanks Blu & SC
I feel too tired tonight to seek purchasing the titles but I made note of them to pursue later
Still in my funk
too much going on at once
seems like in every area of my life I have a hard job to take care of
and I'm not doing any job well
in time I will look back on this time period and say to myself- what did you expect from yourself? There was entirely too much on your plate!
But for now I will beat myself up for not being able to handle what life is handing me

Hello

I know how difficult life is being shy and having low self-esteem. I avoid people as much as possible. I refuse to join any group because I fear embarrassment so much. Because of this fears I started to develop anxiety. And to overcome anxiety is much harder than overcoming low self-esteem.

You still have a chance for a breakthrough. Overcome your worries and fears. Don't be too hard on yourself and improve your self-efficacy and confidence.

You can improve your confidence all you need is to not overthink or over-analyze every situation and practice communication skills. Learn how to speak your mind and admit mistakes, but also learn to be resilient and resolute on your beliefs. You can do this there are many self-help programs that can solve your esteem problems. I wish you the best and if ever, someday, we have the chance to meet each other I believe what I'll see is a strong, confident person.
