I read some peoples opinions about self esteem. I am confident. I am a communications major in college and I do very well in front of audiences. I hold my head up when I walk. But, why is it that some days I love myself so much that I want to climb the tallest tree and then other days I want to bury myself. According to the seratonin/self esteem theory, being confident and such means I have enough balance of seratonin, but what about the days I want to die? Does it just go away for a bit? It makes it difficult for me to help myself when I do not understand myself. All of my friends have no clue that I have problems. I seemed to be fooling everyone. Even my therapist, it seems. I cant seem to tell anyone that can help me that I feel this way. It is such a roller coaster. I am trying Zoloft right now to slow the coaster down. Am I just sheltering myself those times I feel happy? Am I even fooling myself? Who else does these things?
