Welcome to Psych Central. I am so sorry you are suffering from low self esteem and dating issues. What kind of therapy are you considering to get help with this?

Lfestyle changes that help me are doing yoga, exercises, mindfulness, calm music, and being active on Psych Central.

There are lots of compassionate people here that can make the load lighter by sharing and caring. Feel free to participate actively at Psych Central.

Some people find the forums give them the compassion and empathy they seek. http://forums.psychcentral.com
