Mood Disorders Self esteem

[willowtigger]

how does someone know if their self esteem level is right or not?

like whether they know if its too high or too low or accurate?

i mean for example i am certain my self esteem is accurate cause i'm a dirtbag and know it and understand its what i am

You are not a dirtbag, you're one of the most caring and compassionate people I know. That is not a dirtbag, a dirtbag is a horrible person that cares only for themselves. You're wonderful and deserve to hear that every single day!

Hi @willowtigger, you are not a dirtbag, I can see that from reading just this post.

The fact you are so self critical proves to me that you are the opposite of a dirtbag.

Please don't be so hard on yourself.

Every time he says anything, just keep in mind he's a liar and his words mean nothing. He's just trying to get your attention, and he doesn't deserve any of it. We're here, we love you, and we don't believe a word that he says!

i had a dream last night where i did rather graphic self harms to myself trying to kill myself in the dream

is this a sign that i have to do that to myself?

 

[PGen98]

No, definitely not! You don't need to harm yourself, and nobody on this earth wants you to kill yourself. This is just three trying to influence you, nothing more.

I know mine is low because someone keeps putting me down and making me do crazy things so that I feel bad about myself.

I'm sorry you're still dealing with them, it's no fun having someone close putting you down all the time. That was my mother when I was young, it made life a living hell. I feel your pain, but you e got support and compassion right here!
