Those of you who actively “work on” your self esteem and mental heath on a daily basis, what do you do?

Serious Replies Only

I have had a tough 2025 (lost a parent, lost almost all of my friends, poor self esteem and self image issues, etc) and this year hasn’t been that great either. Obviously my problems from last year have trickled down to this year and I am still in the same place mentally and emotionally.

Therapy is expensive and my problems are not deemed serious enough use the NHS for therapy either.

I was listening to a podcast the other week on one for those BBC stories and it was mentioned that you have to take steps and action every day to improve your mental health. Just wondered if that is something any of you do and if you could share what it is that you do?

Thanks
