[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine saying those things you think about yourself to your best friend. Why be so cruel to yourself?

Have you already tried meditation, and just trying to put away negative thoughts if they come up? [/quote]

Oh yeah, years of meditation practice, I eventually gave up on it. I don't think it's for me.

I have done better with CBT where instead of just observing the thoughts and "letting them go," I can observe them and more proactively try to address them. But I have to keep doing it and am not always successful. It's like there's an upper limit on how much better I can get.

I fantasize about waking up one morning and just having the self esteem issues gone, like a weight lifted. For a long time I thought that's what I was working towards in doing all this stuff. And now I feel like maybe the best I can hope for is be able to manage the constant feelings of inadequacy so they don't completely derail my life, but I'll ever actually be free of them. Which would be a bummer. I am not looking forward to getting old feeling like this.[/quote]
