Your best friend always puts herself down. She’s just too hard on herself!

stethoscope.gif Symptoms: She constantly coughs about how unpretty she is, how she can afford to lose some extra pounds, and how no one will ever pay any attention to her.
nurse.gif Diagnosis: Your pal has an acute case of insecurititis. This can be fatal especially if her self-esteem is threatened.
rx.gif Rx: Your friend has to be reminded she’s special! We prescribe a daily dose of encouragement on just how fab she is. Write her a note on why she rocks, or ask her to make her own cool-to-be-me list. Then post these on her mirror. Or take her to the mall and purchase some cool duds! Some retail therapy should lift her spirits.
