Just sharing an idea that I'm trying out. A friend a while ago gave me a tiny little notebook that said "Lovely Laura" on the front cover Only recently I decided what I would use it for: it's for recording nice things people say about me. Like when someone thanks me or pays me a compliment or just says something really nice. At those times I feel a momentary warm glow, but somehow I don't manage to recall the good feeling when my depressed, self-hating thoughts return. So I'm treasuring them up in this little booklet to reread when I am feeling bad about myself.
I think it will help. It's good to have friends, and to have the proof there that they really are friends.

this is an awesome idea, I keep a sort of mental notebook, but it would be nice to write all those things down

Amid the tornadoed Atlantic of my being, do I myself still forever centrally disport in mute calm; and while ponderous planets of unwaning woe revolve round me, deep down and deep inland there I still bathe me in eternal mildness of joy.
