41 years old. STILL dealing with self esteem issues. Has anyone "recovered" from low self esteem. I am just so tired, fed up, and I cannot think of any other word to say. I am tired of being like this. I see a therapist, but nothing changes.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

It's difficult to answer without more information but yes you can "recover" but it's takes time and faith in yourself. A little self belief goes a long way. Pm if it helps, even if you just want to let off your frustration...I'll listen.

Same here. I deal with this too. What has helped me is digging in Gods word and finding out what God says about me. You can even google "what God says about me"...I've done it. Others have put together scripture lists. This will help you find them fast. Speak them out as often as you can.....write them on the tablet of your heart. Usually, us who struggle with this have believed lies, either by others or the enemy that we are worthless. It becomes a part of our belief system. This can be broken with a lot of work. You will have to start choosing to believe what God says about you. The key word is choosing. You have a choice to believe lies or the truth. I can help you find those scriptures if you wish. I'm here to help......

Hi,
I will share with you a story from my life. I grew up in a small town, I could never seem to get a girl friend, every time I tried it failed. I felt quite worthless. This continued into my young adult life. Every time I tried to date there was no reply. In my 30's things got so bad, and I felt so rejected that I tried to commit suicide. Then one day months latter I was on a dating website, and I prayed to God and said there must be some one in the world who would marry me. I asked God to give me something to type into the search box. The word "Grace" entered my mind. So I typed in "grace". The first profile that came up in that search would end up being my wife. She had been trying to contact me, but after seeing her profile I contacted her. We went out dating, both liked each other, and eventually got married. We have a good married life. So I was around 35. Nearly 40. It is never too late for God.
What ever the issue in your life, God has a good plan for you, and no matter the sorrows you experience God can bring you out into fulfillment.

I think everyone struggles with self-esteem in one way or another. Some don't feel pretty enough or smart enough. Others don't feel they're successful enough or aren't worthy of love. I think once you realize those are all lies planted by the enemy, you'll take the first step in realizing your true worth. But I PROMISE you, everyone suffers from self-esteem issues in one way or another.

Although this isn't always as comforting as it should be, remember that heaven is eternal. There, you'll have the exact self-esteem that God wants you to have. Even if you spend the rest of your life with a low self-esteem, it's but a breath compared to eternity.
I suffer from depression, so I know how you feel.

I have suffered with this for as long as I can remember. Apparently I have believed every negative thing that was ever said about me by the devil or anyone else. And I guess I have been my own worst critic. I'm 52, this is killing me, and it doesn't seem like there is any hope of getting over this.
