Recently I developed low self esteem b/c the ppl I thought were my best friends backstabbed me.heartbreaker I felt so depressed that I went 2C a therapist, she suggested that I go2 this support group meeting 4my depression. I thought I give it a try so that I can meet new ppl. unfortunately 0 of the meetings worked out. The ppl weren't very friendly.. There was 1 meeting I went2 where I saw this lady sitting by herself so I went ovr 2talk to her, she told me 2go away, I figure she didn't want2 talk2 any1 so I backed off, then I ovr hrd her talking2 some1 else about me how I approached her.glance I was so hurt, I thought that was extremely rude,Twisted Evil so I walk out of that meeting crying and never returned. Afterwards I thought my therapist was a fool,Mad so discontinued the visit. Since then I was afraid 2talk 2ppl b/c I would get the same reaction like that lady @ that meeting. That's Y I'm so bitter right now b/c I feel like I can't trust any1 anymore.sad2

Hello Daisy. I see that you live in New York, which can be a very cold and lonely place where it's difficult to meet people. Not every city is like NYC, though. Have you ever thought about moving?

Also, in regard to your low self-esteem...I'd suggest that you look for another counselor. There are many good counselors out there. Here's a list of free or sliding scale health clinics:
