I never had any self esteem issues before I looked for psychiatric help. I didn't like my issues but I didn't hate myself for them. Unfortunately the care people thought I was too secure and looking back I realize they tried to break me. They dang nearly succeeded...

Took a while building back up.

Sometimes when I'm really really low and can't function and everything is a mess and a stressor comes on, THEN I can feel self hatred. But otherwise, no way!
