    How do you know anyone is better than you? As I said once earlier there is always something that you can do better than the person you are next to.
    Yeah someone might be able to work a rowing machine better but could they do pottery as well as you ? Could they be as kind as you?
    Probably not. Get yer bum down there and dont even think about other people being better or worse than you.
    Who I am is not important. What I do is.

    That photo put me off my tea!

    Hello all, remember me?!
    Its the school hols and I have been busy with the children, visiting family that sort of thing.
    The good news is I am on the waiting list for an NHS counsellor but am trying to find a private one that I can afford. Have been reading the Overcoming Low self esteem book (cant remember the author)which has helped. Visting my mum was helpful as I realised I am a carbon copy of her:eek: Dont get me wrong I love her dearly but she has all the same self esteem issues, depression, perfectionism etc etc etc! Has anyone else found this?
    E
    trying to live in the moment but chained to the past and scared of the future!:confused:
