I've been focusing mainly on anxiety but what if anxiety is a symptom of having low self esteem along with depression and everything else? In trying to get better I've always focused on anxiety and while I lead a fairly normal life, I go to work etc etc I am trapped in a comfort zone and the anxiety keeps returning.
If I look back to when I was in primary school I got bullied, I had eczema so others made fun of me, I was an only child with strict religious parents, I had a very negative outlook on life, so I guess it was no big surprise I developed anxiety issues in my late teens.
So I am thinking would focusing on low self esteem be more beneficial that trying to cure anxiety? which clearly isn't working.
