What should I do in this situation...depression & low self esteem?

Question

I'm a sixteen year old girl with an alright life in general. I've always felt upset and depressed ever since my mom and dad got divorced almost ten years ago, and now he's moving back in with me & my mom & sister. I've always had extremely low self esteem as well, even though I'm in the top ten percent of my class at school and have many friends. I tell myself all the time that I hate myself and that I wish I wasn't like this...I'll breakdown and cry for seemingly no reason and I just can't stop. I'm going to start going to a therapist in a few weeks, but I just want to feel happy & normal for once. Any suggestions?

I was the same way in high school. Except I was fat, had no friends, I hated life. Find a sport or something you are really good at to make yourself feel better.

You are beautiful and really smart and have a ton of stuff going for you. I wouldn't go to a therapist. Go outside and run or something. Take a walk, hang out with friends. Get a freaking hobby.
