loneliness

by anonymous

Lately I have started to feel lonely and depressed. I guess I don't have many friends. I have always made my children my life and used food to comfort myself. I have since become diabetic and have been forced to give up food as my best friend. I find myself becoming extremely jealous of my husband talking about his friends and going out with them, etc. I have always had self-esteem issues and feel worthless not having a "best friend". My children will always be my priority, but I'm feeling sad about the situation. How do you have healthy self-esteem without being validated by friends? I hope this makes sense!!

Thank you.
