Steemit's been kind of dead recently, but as I love the community on here I wanted to turn to it for some help.
A good chunk of my page has been dedicated to my struggle with social anxiety. On the side I have depression, low self esteem, and everyday life problems.
So I'd like advice! or any opinions you guys have to offer.
My main concern is the low self esteem, as it's where my anxiety stems from. I want to know how to build up confidence, because right now I'm struggle with a very deep sense of unworthiness. My looks, my personality, my social skills, my life, all of it feels inadequate. I try to be positive, I try to find love for myself, but most days it's seemingly impossible. If any of you know how to gain back my sense of worth, I'd love to hear it.
I've been considering antidepressants recently. I'm scared of them and their side effects but I'm desperate. I have tried meditating, eating a healthy diet, and pushing myself to overcome my fears. It's just not enough.
Any tips on how you guys have overcome similar problems is welcome!
I want a life where I am at peace with who I am, and am not held back by anxiety.
