Re: Self-Esteem?
Pray - the best thing
Self esteem comes from within and usually stems from accomplishments that help one feel good about themselves. I would say start volunteering and doing charity work, see a therapist and set some short term goals for yourself.
Re: Self-Esteem?
youtube is my google of videos for everything
check out some of these videos and see how you like them and even some of the related videos
i put them on my ipod and try to change my thoughts about myself. they’ve helped me
take care of yourself, like try to eat more healthy, do light exercise if you aren’t used to it in the beginning. for example, a walk in the park for 30mins and slowly increase the time, be around positive people and try to spend less time with people that always complain/say negative things about you.
Re: Self-Esteem?
What Reha said, praying is the best way to feel good about yourself. Also, I am usually down on myself when I take into to all the shoulda, coulda, woulda's that I didnt take care of, once I make the effort to take responsibility and accomplish things, I feel good about myself.
Re: Self-Esteem?
Pray and focus on something that will make you stronger be it mentally or physically… build yourself up and slowly your self esteem will grow with you.
If your ugly like me you have three options… 
Make yourself more beautifull… 
Make others Ugly… 
or work around it with something else for example try to be intelligent or something.
If your poor like me again you got three options…
Make yourself rich one way or another… :roman: Make others poor 
Or focus on gaining a wealth in something different knowledge or a wealth in understanding is worth more than money… 
Theres tons of ways of making yourself feel better…

Yes Islamic way is the best, there wasn't any unislamic way in my post Nauz billah.
She asked how to cope with the feeling of ugly about our slef, so I gave her this link where they say how to start think good about our self .
Re: Self-Esteem?
A lot of good suggestions in this thread.
Try this experiment.
Every night, write down 3 things that you did that day that makes you like yourself. Even if you don't think those things are big, if they made any sort of a positive improvement in your or anyone's life, you did an amazing thing. For feeling ugly, write about one aspect of your body you like. There has to be a few. Then increase that number to 3, by the end of the first week and continue. Try finding reasons for why more parts of your body are pretty/healthy/better functioning etc. (Aside: We should be VERY grateful for our bodies. Without it, we wouldn't exist.)
Also, push yourself to do things you can not do. One thing at a time. You will feel AMAZING about yourself. Some things just require you to continue pushing yourself. Some other stuff requires you to gain skills in order to be able to do it.
Thirdly, remember that you're worthy of love and respect. It doesn't matter if you agree or not. You can't trust your judgement on that anyway, given how pessimistically you're thinking of yourself right now. So, don't. Trust the judgement of the rest of the world that you're worthy of YOUR love towards YOU. Remind yourself of that when you pray, before bed and after waking up. You'll notice changes in TWO weeks. I promise!
Do these exercises even if they feel fake. Like I said, you can't trust your judgment of yourself right now (and by that I mean ONLY right now). Self esteem doesn't always come on its own, but it DOES come. You need a bit of work for it, which is NOT impossible.
