Welcome Cin,

I'm a psychology student too. An old one though :~} I hope you find a cosy corner here and support from others who are walking in similar shoes.

Welcome, Cin.

As a starting point, try some of the exercises on origins of self-esteem and self-concept in Self-Help Resources and Excercises. They may help to define what questions you would like to ask...

Hi Cin, just wanted to welcome you. I hope that you enjoy your stay, and get to meet the wonderful people in here.

I understand those feelings of low self esteem and negative feelings about yourself. I spent most of my life with this as well. I think for the most part I have improved greatly over the past few years.

I guess its sort of rediscovering yourself, finding out that you are special and are someone important in life. It does take a bit of work to accomplish, but you can do it. I know you can.
