Didn't read your entire post but rigorous exercise WILL make you feel better in terms of energy level confidence and looking in the mirror and saying wow that's me feels pretty good 2. Just remember don't loose site of your goals and consistency is 90% of it results will come in a couple months but energy will increase faster

are you seriuos? cause i'm back on them, as I sunk back into that severe depression black hole when I went off of them, i think i have stablized as i have'nt hung myself yet, but i keep my hangmans rope ready, so your saying the pills do nothing and its all in my head? and i should stop taking them ??
are you sure? cause i think they are ballancing the chems in my body
is it just hogwash or what,, I think your wrong based on my personell experiance

Pills help but you will become dependent on them and when you go off them the world gos to shit....exercise is the best option, ween yourself of the pills slowly

To the OP:

There isn't anything that will change your confidence (or lack thereof) and self esteem overnight. You'll have to work on it. Accomplish some-thing important to yourself. It may be as simple as washing the dishes. Then do it again. It may take years.

Been there. Oftentimes I return like a sick animal to a mode of thinking that I just abhor. Then it feeds upon itself. I can really work myself into a state. I've learned this and recognize when it is happening and now attempt to get myself out of it immediately before I get too miserable...LOL

Many that know would tell you I'm the most confident person they've ever met. I can do things few can do. Still I have some esteem issues. Crippling PTSD with intimate relationships. I keep waiting for things to change in that area, but realize that I've done nothing at all! Why would it change then? But I'm older now and not as concerned about as I once was, but my errors are plain to me.

As perfect as any man- which is to say I'm full of defects and flaws but astounding potential too. I do not have to make the perfect grade or be like anyone else- just live my life without causing harm to others. I fail in that regard too from time to time...

I'd say I'm reasonably happy. Isn't this enough?

Believe in yourself. Face your fears. A lot of drugs only make things worse and aid you in running from what you must eventually face. Talk to your doctor if you want to stop taking medication. Sober up. Know that you have the free will to make that choice to stand up for what you believe in. Live life according to your morals, according to what you believe in. Live life, instead of sitting in the back seat. Look at the good things in life that you've taken for granted. It's common sense that the world isn't perfect. Make the best of it. You're going to experience life anyways, why not take on a new perspective and look towards the good instead of all the bad. It's never too late to change your perspective. And its never too early to start. If you want something to happen, make it happen right away. The choice is yours :thumbsup:

Personally, id like to say im about a 7/10 on confidence. No, i have definitely not always been this way. I asked myself, "why am I always holding back? What is all this reserve for or protecting?" Then, I realized: You have nothing to loose. You were put on this earth, why not make the best of it?

Push yourself into embarrassing situations, your threshold will increase. If you can, embody delusional coolness. Who would you rather meet: someone who's nervous and worried about what people think about them, or someone who expresses enthusiasm and charisma about themselves? Remember, if you don't believe in yourself, NOBODY WILL.

Besides, most people are simply worried about what others think of THEM.
