Hi,
I'm 23 years old from England. I have suffered with low self esteem for as long as I can remember and have spent the past 10 years battling an eating disorder. Although I would regard myself as recovered from the eating disorder now the feelings of worthlessness and anxiety are still with me. I feel anxious all the time and feel as though i'm not good enough to even leave the house. I feel huge compared to other people and think my clothes and general appearance looks terrible. I then feel guilty for feeling so vain, and depressed about being so shallow. I wish I could just be more care free and enjoy life but i'm constantly worried that something bad is going to happen or someone will be judging the way I look, or a friend will let me down.
Does anyone else here suffer with the same problems or have any advice for me?
Would love to chat to someone who has gone through a similar thing... :-)
