I have had a very hard past 6 month but i am just trying to stay consistent and keep my head up. Are there any suggestion people have for me to keep busy and just start to love myself more?  I just want to stop feeling this way and I know it will take a while.

theres many acts of self love u can do!

u can start by creating small routines like 20 minute exercises, do your hobbies, or just simply be kinder in the way u talk to yourself . reaching out to someone when u feel like u are struggling is also a way u can love yourself.

things may seem tough rn but i know you're strong and you'll make it through! 💪♥️

Improving your self-esteem is a long-lasting process which, unfortunately, doesn't happen overnight... It takes "diagnosing" the reasons why it started to be low (like trauma or family environment; that is why it usually takes an experienced therapist) and looking for ways to find your strengths and positive activities you are involved in.

As for making you busy, that can be a double-edged sword: In fact, that is fruitful to keep your mind and hands busy if you had a tendency to overanalyze or overthink. But also some problems can be solved only by addressing them in a straight way, not without talking it over.
