  being kind to myself, and not putting too high expectations on myself helps me,
  i try and praise myself for small stuff that when down is big achievements, like eating a meal, holding back and smiling instead of grumping at someone, coming on DS!
  i hope this helps,
  love Alice

  I don't know. I struggle with this so much. Everyone thinks I have it all together and never have problems in my life. I work really hard at it, but staying positive is sometimes impossible for me.
  
  When I met my husband, we were exact opposites. He was a $^&^&% optimist! Now, I do better, but I've pulled him down - he's occasionally more pessimistic.
  
  What's the diff between pessimism and pragmatism?

this is a place where we can all come to help each other boost our self esteem, help us cope and get through the days, the dark days. ALL WELCOME
