Hi Elizabeth,
What i mean by low self esteem is constant thoughts putting myself self down. Thinking that other people must think that i'm weird. Not talking to people because i don't want them to think i'm weird or just not having anything to say. Feeling that people must laugh at me behind my back, alot of my friends have said that i am the most paranoid person they know. Feeling that my friends don't like me, even though it is obvious that they do. fear that i am not good enough at any thing, that i'll never get a good job etc.
I have only been diagnosed with depression, for which i have been prescribed prozac. I feel that the reason i am depressed is because of my low self esteem. So i'm wondering if there is a drug or specific antidepressant that could help ?
I know paxil is good for social anxiety, but i'm not sure thats what i have ! Paxil is also sedating and i need energy.
Any suggestions would be great !
Regards,
J
Is there an antidepressant or any other kind of drug thats works well for low self esteem ?
