Alternatives to Medication for Boosting Self-Esteem

I don't believe medications are the true answer to my health condition. Any time I try them, I'm either even more depressed or I just become angry. What else, besides medication, should I trust to give my self-esteem a raise?

Honestly this is going to suck ass to hear but Iā€™m not sure if I could tell you what can or canā€™t help. Judging by the responses none of the suggestions seem to help. And forgive me for asking, are you ready to be helped? Are you willing to give things a try? I know itā€™s difficult with depression but thatā€™s really what it comes down to. No medication, hobby or person will help if you donā€™t want help and thatā€™s okay. No one expects to want help, hell, I told my therapist so many lies to avoid getting help. I donā€™t know if this will be any help so if itā€™s not feel free to ignore it.
