You're right when you say that you won't allow the Beast to damage your confidence and self-esteem. The Beast is not a part of you, it's not who you are. Rather, it's an un-invited, unwelcome, intolerable guest that will not go away. When it has you where you are now, self-pity (in moderation) is *not* a bad thing.
