Darling, beautiful woman! Why is your self esteem so low? What specifically is it that is making you feel 'less than'?
Do yourself a huge favor. Start exercising at least 30 minutes a day. Anything that will get your blood pumping fast for that long. The endorphins help depression SO much! You all got me moving with your gift and all I can say is that it has made a huge difference. My IC says that exercise is much better than any AD on the market and a combination of AD's and exercise is the ultimate cure for depression.
Like your H said, maybe you should get away by yourself for a long weekend and collect yourself, pamper yourself, read a good book (NOT self-help!!) and be calm. Do things to stay out of your own head for a while.
Other than that, all I can offer is a huge virtual hug for you and the assurances that you are an amazing, kind, passionate, beautiful woman and there is absolutely no reason for you to EVER feel 'less than'.
