Howdy!

It's that time again...time for a new question! 

Why don't we talk about self esteem today?  Do you feel that depression lowers your self esteem or do you think that people with low self esteem are more prone to depression?  It is the old which came first the chicken or the egg I think. 

In what ways does depression diminish your self esteem and what things do you do to remedy this if any?

I am feeling personally low on both scales today...depressed and  low self esteem so this is a good topic for me.
