I'll bet if you go into counseling you'll feel a lot better about yourself.Counseling will show you why you are so sad all the time and why your self-esteem is so low. And then you work on building up the broken pieces and come out of it a changed person. Also, you might consider asking your doctor for some antidepressants. There are many types, so if one doesn't work, you can try something else until you hit that perfect combination that works on you. If you want to be loved, you'll have to learn how to trust again.. A family that breaks up like yours has long lasting effects on your emotional well being. I also think that you should start a course on healing through learning to Meditate. That will enable you to get in touch with your inner self and take a path to healing and to feel a wonderfull peace and perhaps start on a Spiritual journey that will show you your purpose in this Life. For everyone has a talent, and everyone has a purpose.
This is not the place to ultimately give you the help you need and deserve. We've got some GREAT people here that can give you some nice advice, but in the end, you need to talk to a counselor/doctor of your own to become healthy and happy.
What you are going through is not easy for anyone, and there are steps you can take and books you can read to help you out.
Begin by talking to your regular doctor, and he/she will help you find a qualified counselor to help you out.
Good luck!
Six years, wow...
See a therapist. I would also suggest anti-depressants, but in this case I think the talking is more important. Not having a male figure in your life can be problematic, and can certainly cause low self-esteem. Having your father leave can also make you not want to trust people.
My father died, three years ago. We were very close. My step-brother has never had a solid male figure in his life. His dad was a druggie, and my dad is gone. Now he looks up to his grandpa. I think he would really benefit from seeing a psychologist, and I think you would, too.
My boyfriend's father also left him. He had similar problems before we met. Sometimes it's just a matter of finding someone who cares. Once you do, you'll feel like a new person.
my answer is Bob's. u need this
