by forgiving everyone else.

The Father forgives you if and only if you forgive others.

If you have forgiven others who sinned against you, then the Father has forgiven you.

If the Father has forgiven you, then you can forgive yourself, unless, of course, you hold a higher standard than God.

No need to focus on yourself. Focus on God and others.
To forgive oneself, I believe, one must repent of their sin, and then wait a little while so that you're convinced your repentance is genuine. A couple of days, a few weeks, depending on the sin.
