Hi Susan-
It's good to hear that you're feeling good.
The self-esteem stuff is hard I know. For months now, there's been a lot of wordless flirting between me and this guy. But I am so self-conscious about going up to talk to him(he's really shy) and then when I tell myself I will and don't I end up getting mad at myself. So then I feel worse and tell myself I am such a wimp, etc.Anyways, I think people's self-consciousness is usually not visible to others. You might be thinking all this stuff about yourself but not show it. Or could be things like freaking out about something on my face when I am the only one that knows it is there.
And, you said you are doing better. I think it is all a process, one thing at a time. Maybe it's the general feeling of well being now and then the self-esteem comes later. Self esteem with me is a day to day thing because of the awful year I've been having. Good luck with things.
Be well,
Sara
