1) keep a log of your successes and victories
there's nothing wrong about keeping track of the great things you've done. it doesn't even have to be something that made a major difference to society. maybe you did one KBAT add question by yourself today? or maybe you woke up ++

that's all i have for now, unfortunately :( i myself have gone through a lot throughout MCO and not having friends around has made it even more difficult. i hope that this thread can be of help to anyone out there who needs it.
