I think this is an excellent question too. I know my self esteem needs to improve. But when I look back 3 years ago and compare myself to that I have improved. Going through this struggle has actually improved my SE, because I began to figure out who I am. I also try to focus on what I do well...I do a few things very well and am proud of that. I acknowledge when I try something that is hard for me, and give myself a pat on the back. I remember that my HP does not create junk...therefore I am special.
I look forward to all the responses.
