What has changed my life is helping people in need. It is the best advice I can give in terms of getting in touch with ones feelings (and making sure they are good ones). I have a job, but in my free time I go to a fundation that works with people that have cerebral paralisis and another one that works with elder persons. It has to be thought about and taken step by step, but it has done marvels for me. I still feel low some times, but I take pride in being a good person and knowing that there are persons there that love me for what I have become. I have been introduced into a new realm of feelings and have discovered in me some one I am so proud of that thoughts of low self esteme don't even cross my mind any more. I just can't explain how much more than therapy these activities have done to me. I have ended up doing volunteer work out of chance, but it is the best gift destiny could of given me. No society stereotypes, no politics, no apearances, just finding your naked self, trust me, it happens that humans are capable of very good things. Just can't explain it. What do you think your bad feelings would do when a human that knows better than any one what pain is, looks up to you and smiles... just smiles with his face, his eyes and his being. Making people happy makes this ride worth while more than any thing I have experienced. That's my advice, but if you take it, go step by step.
You are not alone.
