Apart from the GOTT, here are a few things you can do _today_ to make your life a little better. Keep a diary and write down every success. Some you may do as often as you please, but write down each one individually! You deserve it! Do not feel pressured to do all, but feel free to select one or two!

- prepare 1 load of laundry
- do 1 load of laundry
- read one page of a book or manga you have been putting off
- cook yourself a meal, or try learn to make a simple dish
- eat a meal
- pick up items on the floor for 5 minutes
- make your bed
- if you have a bad habit, try making it more inconvenient (putting things in hard to reach places for example)
- do the dishes for 3 minutes
- write down one thing you are grateful for (from abstract things to something like a cute image you saw)
- Clean up 1m^2 of your floor (~40x40 in)
- Open your window for 10-20 minutes
- try to exercise for 5 min (walk outdoors, walking stairs, whatever you wish)
- take out the trash
- drink a glass of water
- put one item of trash in the bin
- reach out to an online contact
- BONUS: Repeat a goal to hit a milestone (1 book chapter rather than a page, the laundry pile, the floor of one room, etc)

>Thank you, I appreciate the effort.
I think I forgot to post the comic last thread after saying I did.. Gosh. Here you go!
>making peace with the fact I need to be alone for a good portion of my life
I am not 100% sure about that but.. one thing after the other.
>I can focus on on studying, job searches and drawing I think.
Then, let's set you a schedule, and try that for now. Ideally you would have a work desk that is separate from where you spend your free time. Basically, setting you up with a schedule. You'd set yourself an alarm for every day, even on days you won't study (but you should still put something else in a morning slot instead). Do you think that is worth trying?
As an aside: I always get tell people that studying is a full time job in and of itself. For example, taking the ECTS system at face value implies a full time Bachelor or Master student has a 70hr work week.
>So, like small habitual habits that keep me going on a weekly basis?
Yes,exactly! Reasons to get up in the morning, so to say. "Excuses".
>But, I will keep thinking about it for now until I can find a more resolute answer.
>I appreciate being able to talk to someone about these things without the fear of repercussions.
Take your time, I am happy to be there!

>I tried to get close to people but it wasn’t enough and I’m not enough and I’m tired
Could you expand upon this? I understand self isolation is a common impulse in dire situations but.. it doesn't help. But I understand you tried and it felt like it didn't work out at all, so I wanna learn more.
