Hi, I'm new here and have never registered for a support forum before, so I'm pretty nervous.

I'm 19 and have been struggling with some sort of anxiety (undiagnosed) and extremely poor self esteem for as long as I can remember - most recently, more relationship based than anything. I don't really speak to anyone about this. Although those close to me are sympathetic, it's hard for them to understand and so often don't know what to say or how to help. I guess I'm just looking for friends who 'get it'.

I hope you have a wonderful day.

Welcome! I think most everyone at this forum will get it. Why do you think you have low self esteem?

Hi Flowers and a really warm welcome to our group.
We are in the same boat, my anxiety stems from really poor self-esteem, so I can relate to what you are feeling. Including having people around you that find it hard to understand our condition.
All I can say is that you will gain so much from this group, not only support, but also ways to cope with anxiety and ways to work on your self-esteem.
