Xiu Huin

1. Problem: I feel that the relationship between my extended family members is getting worse and this affects some of my emotions and behaviours. Things used to be more different in the past before MCO.

2. We meet each other more. We have more time (except for dinner) to really talk with each other.

3. I think the change of environment is one thing too. My grandparents used to live in a more "village" area and they have more friends there. I can talk with them regarding their friends too.

4. I think spending more time together could help? But without common topics to talk, it is hard to make the conversations to be more positive.

1. I am having lower confidence now, back then during degree & foundation, I am more confident that I will score well, I will do well in presentation, and that I can understand + remember the knowledge/content.

2. I study a lot, crazy. Wake up > study in KTM > class > assignment > study > sleep (on repeat)

Ivy: Stress eating

1. When I‘m confident of my body image, and I feel that I can control what I eat and when I get the satisfaction of being successful of controlling, I feel more confident and not stress eating.

Daniel

1. I suffer from depression actually and back then when I felt better was when I was working.

2. I think generally back then when I was working I felt more productive and my sleeping schedules are way much more better, I would be able to wake up and feel fresh. Besides, my eating habits are way much more healthier or more on time.

3. I think at that time I felt more secure in terms of financially. My family was also there to support me through calls even when they are far away.

4. I think, I am currently not working but I am studying. Maybe I can be able to set a sleeping schedule or daily routine to follow so that I can feel productive and refreshed when I wake up everyday.

Questions to think about:

1. Think about a time when things were better, what was it?

2. What were you doing differently during that time to feel “better”?

3. What else was different during that time?

4. What must happen now for you to have more times like so?
