How to raise self esteam

[Blossum123]

I have low self worth and this fuels my anxiety . How do others increase self esteam to to do it but how ?! X

Learn a new skill, do something that requires such total concentration that you "lose" yourself for a while, volunteer. For me what helped was singing in a choir, learning to ride horses and volunteering at a children's home.

ps. Getting into doing those things when you're anxious and feeling worthless is hard but so worth it.

When I went for the audition with the choir my throat closed up and I could barely get a note out, I'm still not sure why they let me in but the experience was amazing. It was an opportunity to almost reinvent myself among people who didn't know me at all and wasn't aware of my mh history.

I initially volunteered as a driver at the children's home. This meant I didn't have to engage with people on an emotional level but I was still useful. You could volunteer to do maintenance work or stack shelves in a library.

Thankyou .iv started trying to get in the habbit of doing exercise .
I find I'm quite self conscious always apologising to other people, worrying they are angry with me - thinking do I look right do I fit in .this doesn't help my confidence but it's hard to stop
