I Have Low Self Esteem

Anyone else is afraid of failure and feel as fear prevent her/him of doing things and face to life? How to built security, self-confidence?
I already take pills for anxiety and it helps a little but this issue is a constant fight.

I needed to get this out of.

You know I have feared failure my entire life myself, but I always tried my hardest no matter what, and succeed more than failed. And what I failed in I found was a greater learning lesson then my successes, and greater blessing in the long run.

I have PTSD/anxiety as well, but I have leaned through counseling to face or to walk away when the anxiety rears up ( which is ever best and appropriate for me at the time anxiety strikes me ). I shared with all my family and friends about the PTSD/anxiety and what the triggers are for me to help them to relate to me. Don't bottle it up that is what kills you!

And yes stating it does help you to cope and over come it.

@WillaKissing Well done! I take my hat off in front of you. I’d wish I were so brave but sometimes I don’t have the energy. My mind betroys me.
I feel as if I do something good, I can rest, if something doesn’t go so well, I feel a failure and I see now that this is very unfair with myself.
It’s as if I wasn’t worthy as a person.

@twistermind You are a worthy person. You just have to learn that failure is true learning and the best way you can grow is through failure.

I do not want you to take your hat off in front of me, but I would like to see you to stand on your own proudly with me!

@WillaKissing :-) You’re very sweet. I’m gonna do it. I’m not gonna punish myself anymore unless I do a bad greed on purpose, what is very rare in me, to be honest. There’s a sane feeling of guilty or shame but there’s another that is not good for anything.
You too, go ahead!

I have the same feeling of guilt and shame in what I do in my cross dressing, but at the same time I love it and it relaxes me and makes me feel happy. So I just live with it over the depression and anxiety, and I grow with it in my daily life/life style. When it comes to feeling happy and healthy for me. I don't give a damn what other's may think or say! This is my life and I will live it happy and free of other's damnation!
