I am not any kind of expert on guy abuse or anything but I think that psychotherapy is very helpful for things of this nature. Especially considering you are being honest with yourself about it. Going in long term and putting everything in painfully clear perspective will help you to get a sense of a healthy set of values and standards to approach life as a means of addressing the issues with self esteem and depression.
There is a very interesting video series on the effects of guy abuse and how it makes people way more likely to be prone to depression, anxiety and tons of other things. You can watch it here:

A very interesting book on self esteem that lays out the dynamics of self esteem called the Psychology of Self Esteem by Nathaniel Branden which I read and really liked.
I am in psychotherapy and have been for 6 or so months now and find it very insightful and am able to process some very deep things in a way I've never been able to do before. I've heard it's helpful to get a therapist who is the gender you have the most issues with (a woman for me). There are different psychological approaches, but the biggest factor by far is how well you can trust your therapist.
I think you should look into therapists near you right now. I think it's very important especially concerning abuse. |
