graceland, how long have you felt this way about yourself? a short time? a long time? Have you ever tried to improve your self esteem by counseling with a therapist or reading a self help book?

Is there something at all that you like about yourself? Just one little thing?

When I was in my early twenties I went through a period of time when I hated everything about my life. I wasn't pretty enough, smart enough, or worthy of friends. As time passed I learned to accept myself. I acknowledged that I will never be a beautiful woman but being average became okay.

Today there are still things I hate about myself. I wish I had friends but don't know how to find them. I worry that I am not a good mother.

I wish you luck in sorting out your problems.
