    Does anyone have any tips/resources/books for dealing with those days where you feel about an inch tall? It sounds stupid because I worked my way through college, got a masters degree, work for a nonprofit where I get to help people for a living, and I started volunteering more at the local LGBT center, but there are still a lot of times where at the end of the day I feel pretty much worthless. Does this happen to anyone else? How do you deal with it? Any input would be much appreciated!

    I listen to my favorite songs. One that pumps me up or that i can rock out to. lol
    The other thing you can do is play a sport or do something active. For me, whenever i'm depressed, i just have to be up and about doing something.
    I feel like that a lot though, you're not alone.

    Do you feel unappreciated?

    I listen to "Born This Way," "The Edge of Glory," or "Greatest" by Lady Gaga, or watch one of my favorite T.V. shows or read a book whenever I'm feeling like I have low self esteem.

    I don't really feel unappreciated, but I do get into the trap of thinking that if I fell off the face of the planet it wouldn't make much of a difference to anyone. Thanks for the kind words and suggestions!
