Sweetie ,
When I was in my early twenties I remember thinking long and hard after I got to the end of my second long term relationship and I had been treated badly.
I thought 'If it takes another ten years to eventually meet and settle down with the right man for me then it will be worth it but in the meantime I will not make the same mistake again'
This thought comforted me for a while.
Recently I have been back to school and learned some new skills, and with it my confidence has really grown and my self esteem.
Set yourself some achievable goals and soon you will have some success and your self esteem will rise again.
You will feel happier and this is a short cut to happier times.
Trust me ,
I am talking from experience here.
