I may be wrong but for what I understand.. Anti-depressant only helps for a short run..

Actually I think We share similar issue. But perhaps mine is not that bad. At times I feel insecure, have low self esteem and feeling negative about myself.. And I guess now I am facing social anxiety issue too.. Sometimes I feel myself withdrawn and lost.. But I realized, once in awhile I do feel good when I am with the my family and right group of people. Family's help is like a daily vitamin that helps to boost up ur immunity system (that's what I feel).

Recently I feel good when I do things that I like and I am good with.. It makes me feel good.. I tried one way (it may or may not work but worth a try).. I try talking to the mirror, trying to practice to speak confidently.. At first it seems to a little uncomfortable but.. After awhile it seems ok.. I guess I just have to get use to it.

Personally I guess u need to first be comfortable facing yourself before u can have confident in facing others. Perhaps u can also try doing something u like or something u r good at.

Currently I started doing a mood chart.. To monitor my emotions and mood.. For instance, When do I feel happy, sad, emotional, angry, depressed, anxiety, disappointment, negative and etc.. By doing so it will help me identify when and in what circumstances will this mood or thoughts occurs..

I don't know if these are useful for u or u have already done it before.. Truly I believe.. definitely there are some remedies worth trying.
All u have to do is keep trying..
U never try.. U never know..
