I have dealt with low self esteem and depression all my life. My mother was abusive and an alcoholic. I am trying to take a different route with my life and correct my outlook on life. My problem is that no matter what I choose to do as a career, my husband is always telling me that it is harder than I think to do that. An example is I love to cook and I have done some catering jobs in my past so I wanted to start my own small catering business and he told me no that I should not get into running my own business. This upsets me and causes me to feel depressed, lowers my self esteem, and causes me to have anger issues. I am always dealing with my husband and my siblings thinking that I cannot do things or taking me seriously about what I do know. I am the second to the youngest in a family of ten kids and they treat me and my youngest brother like we are inferior to them even though most of them did not finish high school. They believe that their work experiences are better than our college experiences. I have an associates degree and I am currently working on my Bachelors degree in psychology. But due to my history of depression and anger issues they will not take me seriously. How can I deal with this constant barrier in my life so I can come out successful in my own life? I take 150mg of Zoloft a day with 10 mg of abilify.
