I would say that right now I am relatively stable. However my self-esteem changes from day to day.
Is that the same for you?

I can't say that's been my experience lately. I have low self-esteem pretty much every day.

The only time I have high self esteem is when I'm manic. Other than that I feel like sh** about myself. Fat ugly and lonely.

My self esteem is directly linked to my mood.

My self-esteem is generally on the low side. Lately, it's at an all-time low, even though I've tried to do things to feel better about myself. Sometimes, I feel confident about my abilities when it comes to certain things, like when I work, but it doesn't really change how I feel about myself or make things much better. Today was bad. Episodes do cause it to vary though.
When I am euphoric manic or hypomanic, I feel that I have the power to do so many things, but that's about it. |

My esteem seems tied to my moods. But everyonce in a while I have to do some soul searching and realize that I am unconsciously applying mental illness stigma to myself. I feel broken, damaged goods, worthless. Why would anyone love me?? Yada yada.
It helps me to keep in mind that these thoughts are symtoms of emotional distress and MI. Just symptoms....not reality.
