As so many people suffer from low self esteem, when I came across this article, I thought I'd post it. I hope it helps.

There's a girl in my mirror
I wonder who she is
Sometimes I think I know her
Sometimes I really wish I did
i think im pretty lucky in that i have considerably more self esteem than i used to.. no idea where it came from though. i think id find it hard writing 50 things i liked about myself straight away though, and then one new thing every day, forever?? im not THAT much in love with myself lol
but it was really useful and insightful, in a way. (i think you know what i mean by that <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"> )
It only takes one tree to make a thousand matches, only takes one match to burn a thousand trees
I found a link there too: http://community.netdoktor.com/ccs/uk/depression/coping/social/article.jsp?articleIdent=uk.depression.coping.social.uk_depression_article_1710 on getting over being dumped
it made me cry but I think eventually I'll be able to use the advice and get on with my life..
We are all in the gutter.
The difference between us is that some of us face skyward..
when my ex was nasty to me today I followed the advice, now I keep thinking all the things I hated about him and I find I care less and less about him..
a good example is, I hated him picking his nose and eating it!! For gods sake why didn't I notice that earlier!!! <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">
