I have been pretty high on pain medication but it has made me feel much less depressed and I have become able to really accept who I am and like many things about myself so I decided to make a list, so that when I do get depressed I can go back to my list. Here goes...

I like that...
1. I am an atheist
2. I am a feminist (but not extreme)
3. I care about animals and treat them right
4. I have started a vegetable garden
5. I am in college
6. I am married
7. I am good at graphic design
8. I am very creative and imaginative
9. I love my husband more than anyone in the world
10. I have never cheated on my husband
11. I'm a quiet person
12. I care about human rights, such as LGBT and women's rights
13. I am involved with Americans United for the Separation of Church and State
14. I stand up for what I believe in
15. I boycott what I don't believe in
16. I maintain my friendships even when I don't feel like it
17. I am active in therapy
18. I wear black a lot
19. Sometimes I even like my size, because I look tough
20. I value fairness and equality above all other things
21. I am able to be open and honest about my past abuse
22. I don't seek revenge, but I don't waste love on those who don't deserve it

I have become who I want to be. The only thing I want to change is my weight, and sometimes I don't even want to because it makes me look tough. Like no one is going to attack me. I don't look like an easy target. The only reason I might change my weight is for health reasons, and to feel better physically.

congrats...this is a very good list. this is what I did to boost my self esteem, developed a list of good things about me. I called them my indisputable facts, things I couldn't put down about myself no matter how depressed I got and they really got me through the tough times. great job.

you should absolutely like the fact you never cheated on your husband. That is something that seems extremely difficult to find these days. Hopefully knowing that you have done something that it seems others cannot give you a major self esteem boost.

Not that the other entries in your list are of lesser importance, its just that the not cheating entry is something that I have great respect for.
