1) Stand up for me
2) Not feel so alone
3) Not feel so dame depressed
4) Not feel so worthless when I know I am not!

[Perna]

Start with yourself and making friends with yourself; don't let yourself put yourself down! When I would catch myself calling myself names I'd think, "Support!" and three guys in togas carrying a Corinthian column would come running from my left ear into the dome of my head, put up the column, then run out by my right ear Stand up with you with you, if you feel worthless, you are accepting negative comments from yourself or others about yourself.

You say you know you are not worthless; how do you know? Get to know yourself, your good characteristics and bad and work with yourself as a friend. When you make a mistake, work together with yourself to put things to right instead of just finger pointing and calling yourself names.

Working with yourself, you should feel less lonely, being alone, when you literally are, won't necessarily be a difficult or painful time because you will be working with and enjoying yourself.

When you truly know yourself, you will know what you want and wanting what you want will enable you to stand up for you and say, "I want X". Other people won't be able to upset you because you know you want X and will be working to get X so what they say and do will not be as important if they are not interested in or part of helping you to get X.

Be yourself at all costs and in all the conflict that will happen, you will learn and grow to see that you're stuck in a mental prison of habitualized beliefs indoctrinated into you by society since you were a little kid.

Once you see that you're surrounded by the mental illness of confusion, you will also be able to see your true gifts, your true talents, that you're trained to be obedient but not to be creative. You will be able to see also your limits and that when you live expressing through your gifts and not try to become something that you're can never be, you will be able to stand up for you, enjoy your aloneness without being lonely, not be depressed and know that you're a miracle of life, not a commodity that needs some value to validate your life.

Here's my favorite quotes on "letting go" because really this is all about letting go and just being yourself. http://www.profound-self-help.com/letting-go.html

Take a look around...a lot of articles are there that fit your questions

KNOW that no matter what happens >to< you, it is not about your experiences of
what happened to you, but how you responded inside (mostly) and outside.

For decades I felt like a failure, until I got help and reviewed all my bad decisions
to not stand up in the face of insult and abuse; then with review I
realized that I had chosen silence because it was in my view at the time
the safety for me physically and emotionally. In retrospect it was the
best choice for me as well.
My error was only in continued loyalty and honesty to those who would use my
nobility against me.
I feel, for me , that I need to choose my fights between those that
I can't come back from, and those I can, it is not all about winning, it seldom
is. for me.

LIKE Megamind said, (the Movie , giant blue headed dude)
There is an advantage to losing, you learn from your mistakes.
