Recently I’ve been in such a writing slump, and nothing I write sounds good (or at least to me). Does anyone have any advice on how to get out of this slump???

I have been in a writing slump too! But I literally can't write anything. I recently got an idea for a new 'big story project' as I call them, and that has actually got me writing again. That's my only piece of half-baked advice, so I hope it half-helps!
Read read read. Reading is the best way to get your creative juices flowing. And, you could share some of the writing you don't like on here to get feedback. I often don't like what I've written (like the poem that got published in VTDigger) but others tend to really like it. Those who tend to be least confident in themselves/their writing tend to make the best writing because they are so unsure. Google the Dunning-Krueger Effect.
I like to just write something silly. Writing something stupid that makes me giggle always helps me get into writing again.
Using challenges, prompts, or random word generators helps me
Whenever you can, just write down sentence "scraps" that will drive your new works
