Low self esteem and feeling exhausted

I feel so swamped in everything recently, I feel like I'm drowning and can't breathe.
My job is getting more and more demanding, my extra shift at the pub is leaving me with only six hours sleep a night, I'm constantly exhausted, my self esteem is at an all time low and I often have the feeling where I don't feel good enough for anyone.
I feel so crap about everything, and trying to put a smile on every day to cover it seems pointless.
This feeling is totally new to me and I'm scared.

Well done for posting this and opening up about things, we are here for you *hug*
Do you have anyone you can talk to about work, maybe cut down on the shifts for a while?
This article from TheSite is all about self esteem, it may be worth a read
Do you have any support in place to help with these feelings you have?
Keep posting on here, we are here for you
" So I say thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing, thanks for all the joy they're bringing, who can live without it, I ask in all honestly what would life be? Without a song or a dance, what are we? So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me "

Thank you for replying
I don't know if I need support, else I'l feel like I'm wasting someone's time.
I'm so confused, scared and down at the moment.
Sounds like you're feeling pretty crappy at the moment and a bit worried as it's a new feeling for you, which must be adding to everything.
As BananaMonkey said, is there someone you can talk to at work about how you're feeling? Or just maybe take a day off and give yourself a day of relaxation?
If you're worried about talking to your parents, maybe you could write down what you want to say and how you're feeling, read it over a few times and then have a bit more confidence of how and what you want to say.
We're always here as well for a bit of a vent or some support, so keep posting.
Thank you, I'm planning to book a few days off soon, just so I can gather myself and my thoughts together. See what I can do.
