Unless I am suffering from clinical depression, I tend to think I'm fine. Your emotional state will have a lot to do with your self esteem.
What Do You Think About Yourself???

I like me. I feel I am a constant work in progress. I love the fact that as I get older I feel more comfortable in my own skin.

I am pretty content about being me right now. My life presently is very ideal and I would not trade it for anyone else's life. I live next to a State Park on a country back road. My road on a county map shows a dotted line signifying an unfinished uneven dirt road----thats mine!
Back here in these canyons the only sound I hear right now are my doves cooing, a cow mooing and our water pump going off and on quietly as it sucks water from the year round creek.
Birds chirrping, bugs buzzing around, a clock ticking.....a lazy summer like day.
And inner peace finally! After talking on this forum for nearly a year I have finally put my jw life behind me and found inner peace. -

I think I've come lightyears, but there is so much farther for me to go.
Ken, man, your post worries me. "It's all downhill from here?" :( Dude, there is lots of good stuff left!!!

smart ass, to the core...the rest I think I will keep to myself, but I believe a lot of people would be surprised to see me like I see me for a moment. I think I am a testament to the fact that you can't tell just from posts on a forum what anybody deals with in day-to-day life.
Respectfully,

I'm all of the above

I don't want to bore everyone with the details. I like myself most of the time, think I'm a decent person and feel pretty good about life - with the exception of the impending empty nest.

I'm having a tough time of things right now and am feeling like a complete twat. I blew a really good job which has left us significantly exposed financially just months after taking out a big mortgage to buy a house. We want to start a family and I have seriously put that in jeapordy by being irresponsible and self destructive but I hope that the opportunity for reflection will help me put right the character flaws which have caused the problem.
I had an interview yesterday and it looks like I have landed a new job but the money is alot less than I was earning as a consultant so things ar egoing to be very tight for a couple of years.
How do I feel about myself? I'm beating myself up pretty bad right now

Big deal - you made a mistake. Live & Learn. Just accept the the consequences for a few years and vow not to repeat the mistakes. Enjoy the present and look forward to the future, rather than ruminating over the past. In the grand scheme of things, this probably won't matter - it may not even matter in 5 years. So don't beat yourself up.
