Low self esteem
I think I have extreme low self esteem, which is causing depression and troubles in all aspects of my life. My relationship is about to end, I cant focus on work, I am constantly burdening and disappointing my family. Despite the fact that on paper,I live an ideal life. My grades are high, I workout every single day, etc. I don't know why do I hate my self so much for the things I could not do and achieve. I have major phases of withdrawal from my environment, I am incapable of accepting help and I am desperately craving connection and love from the ones I love.

Dear patient,
I would like to consult you any trained psychotherapist for knowing about root cause of your problem which is contributing your low self esteem. Sometimes type of upbringing during childhood and adolescent stage has very major impact in deciding one's personality and self esteem. So discuss your problem in detail with a psychotherapist or take medications if you have any social anxiety disorder.
