Does anyone have any ideas. Im 42, Ive had counselling and still feel like my mind is an emotional sponge, that absorbs any old c-p. Im really fed up with myself and its not good for self esteem. I meet people esp of my own age who have a confident mind and I feel like a complete nothing. Im sensitve and I feel that I shouldnt be like this. Im not feeling sorry for myself and really working to improve, but sometimes I feel that I havent and tired.
