Hi Have Hope, you're definitely right that I have self esteem issues. That's something I've known. Though I also have not been actively working on it and have sort of not been thinking of it lately. I'm glad you brought it up to me.

I'm VERY ruminative tonight and lately. I will try to distract myself with something positive after this.

And while I tend to agree w you that people trigger our low feeling bc we are already feeling low, that doesn't not mean that she's also insensitive and not a good friend fit for me at this time. There's good things about her too of course. She is a good person. But yeah.

What I'm most concerned with is my rumination and yes, feeling crappy. Maybe this should have gone in the "coping with emotions" forum. Oh well.

Peace out
