Hi .Not many of you know me but time can change that. It can a;so channge some things that adds to our low self asteam. I can also relate to that too.One Of the ways to help avoid it if that can be done is to do some thing like i do even on line. Take alook at my profile page.Im here to make friends help who i can and when needed be helped.I use my past & present bad & sad experiencies to help me help others. My profile also helps too.its there when I cant be 24/7 where all can read it and be inspired encouraged up lifted and so on. It would be good if other ds members did the sam as that. Its a way of turning negative that has happened or is happening to us to positive & good use..It also can help us feel beter knowing its doing this even when we are not on line but it can be domne off line too. Some people might not need it or some of it now but who knows the future?...I have been a ds member for around 2 to 3 years now.. My profile page info may be long but it is onkly a small sumed up caption of a big big picter about my life and so on. with out going to too much detail. The groups I have joined tells a storry too. Like this one , i do suffer from low self asteam randomly too but I hope what I have said here will go on to help you 7 many many others.Take care..
