I'm having a really tough time at the moment too. While I had been working really hard to be disciplined and improve my self image, things have currently slumped back into a tough time. It's all exacerbated by a lack of financial stability and having to move around a lot.

I find comfort in the idea that improving self esteem is never a straight path. It's normal to come across serious pitfalls and throwbacks. Each time you pick yourself up and try again, you are moving towards feeling better about yourself. I know this is maybe cold comfort, but it helps me.

Super cheesy to say, but just finding something, one thing, that you really care about can be amazing too. You can lose yourself in this thing and feel part of something bigger than yourself. This could be a social cause, helping others, nature, or even coffee

Hang in there - my thoughts are with you, and it gives me comfort to know that someone else is experiencing the same challenges.
