Where do you fall on the Self Esteem Scale?



  • I really need help, nothing is good
  • I feel like I'm a mess, but have potential
  • I struggle constantly to feel good about me
  • I want to feel better but do not know how
  • I have one good thing about me
  • As soon as I (do something) I will be better
  • I could feel better about me, but I'm sort of OK
  • Actually I feel like I'm pretty OK
  • Other. Please feel free to share.

I wasn't always high on the self esteem end, in fact it was only until my son went into

the military . strange huh. I guess I thought he was fighting for our freedom so why

should I feel be little by things that were small me in my life. I guess I felt like

I was on my own pitty potty after he was gone and he was giving up so much for me to

feel safe and be free.... so I gained more, actually, probly the most self esteem and

felt the true meaning why I should not lack self esteem again.

You must have seen your worth, Lynn. You must have felt more appreciated. We see that all the time in you, gf. However, it's hard for us to see it in ourselves. Thanks for sharing. (((hugs))) jan

We can be our own worst enemies, Jennifer. It's hard to find that happy medium when we're battling anxiety/depression. Good luck on your quest to find that balance! (((hugs))) jan

Ya know Jan its really funny... I used to be the opposite and not eat when something was going on. It just recently changed and I don't like it..LOL


It really is so hard to stop eating when you are an emotional eater. I never understood it when people would talk about it. Now I know... at the time the food is the only thing that makes you feel better.


The good news is that I exercise everyday so I am not gaining and I am starting to get it under control. I have lost 2 lbs and that is a start.


Thanks for the pep talk!!!!!
