We have an office party tomorrow. I found I was not going be aloneby myself since I had made a friend at my workplace and was prettty excited about the party . Well, just found she had been *****ing about me big time and this was enuf to anger me, m ake me anxious and put me into depressi,on. We used to travel together after work, but today i totally avoided her. I know I shouldnt have done this, but well I did anyway.
My meds have been changed as the previous one produced side effects; the new meds make me slow at work, I am semi asleep. I am not being competitive or fast at work at all and instead taking one day at a time and I am pretty below par then where anyone else whould have been. Even the newbies around me seem to be doing better than I . This doesnt much help my already low self esteem.
When I am low I think i need this job, and bear whatever comes my way. There could be people who could be in worse state than i .
I had met a counsellor who told me i should first accept and love myself the way i am. a) i was not always this way, b) how do i love myself knowing how i am?
Members,
Has an illness, addiction or other left your self-esteem in the gutter? In the weeks to come, we will be exploring various strategies to help rebuild your self-esteem:
• Make a list of all your successes and read it everyday.
• Surround yourself with positive, supportive people. You are who you hang around with.
• Pick a mantra and repeat to yourself every morning and in times of self-doubt
• If you’re struggling in an academic or work-related situation, ask for help! Or do some research; attend a seminar or workshop to increase your competence.
• Seek outside help like a counselor, support group or peer mentor.
Please add your thoughts on rebuilding your self-esteem! More tips to come next week!
