personal growth

I have struggled with depression and self-esteem issues for years. Over the last few years (I think) I have started to put the pieces together to fundamentally improve how I go through life happier. I started to realize that my negative self-talk was holding me back. I was unable to recognize the parts I do like about myself. When I wasn’t depressed I talked myself back into it, because ‘I didn’t deserve’ to be happy.
