Daily Achievements!

Hi forum friends! I've decided to start a new thread on Daily Achievements because I suffer from depression as one of my mental illness and that means it's often hard for me to remind myself that I do actually things in my day, no matter how small they may be. I thought forumites could post here a daily achievement or 2 so we can remind ourselves that we have done something good each day. It can be as big or as small as you like. Just as long as what you did makes you proud and happy.

I'm tagging @roses @Bow @Shaz51 @BPDSurvivor @saltandpepper @Daisydreamer @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @TideisTurning @Former-Member @frog @Sans911 @outlander

in case you might be interested as well as anyone else who wants to join in!

So, to get this discussion started, I'll post my achievements today which are:

- I had a gorgeous cup of tea which helped me deal with some anxiety I was experiencing;

- I paid my car registration which was due today.


See what I mean about achievements? Mine may seem small or irrelevant to some people but to me, because I have depression, these are actually major in the scheme of my life. I look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.

Hi @LostAngel @Judi9877

Some great achievements!

Today I had a lovely breakky my favourite some blanched asparagus (chopped up into 4 pieces), poached egg and 1 piece of toast with philadelphia cream cheese (spread on), the poached egg, then asparagus pieces over the top and then you can put chunks of extra philadelphia cheese and some black pepper.. it is my favourite breakky.

Then I had uni class online then lunch and then I started my next assignment. Then I cooked dinner and watched home and away and now I'm watching a movie Now you see me.. .seems pretty cool.

Hope you have a good night and had a good day 🙂

Good evening @pinklollipop15 @LostAngel @oceangirl @Shaz51 @frog @BPDSurvivor @Former-Member @Daisydreamer @Anastasia @Fluttershy1 @Former-Member @Paperdaisy and all forumites here. Congratulations on your achievements everyone!

@LostAngel I'm so glad you feel better after having a self care day. That's great news to hear!

@pinklollipop15 ah, uni work! The life of a student never seems to end! Well done on attending your lectures. I used to dislike lectures as I never was a good note taker preferring to think I had to write down every single word the lecturer said because I thought it was vital information which isn't necessarily true I've since learnt!

Today (Thursday) my achievements have been:

- Completing last weeks uni work at long last!

- Writing an overdue email to my psychologist about some issues I need to discuss with them at our next appointment

- Cleaning out my mechanically unwell car before it gets towed to my father's mechanic on Tuesday

- Watching Home and Away on TV

- Spending time knitting a beanie for charity

That's all from me tonight forumites! Keep on achieving wonderful and exciting things, no matter how big or small they might seem.

I printed the last of my Tafe lessons and handouts

I saw my surgeon (got the all clear, Woot Woot)

I filed my Tafe work, labelled and added dividers into the folders

Good evening @LostAngel @TAB @NatureLover @Anastasia @pinklollipop15 @frog @BPDSurvivor @Shaz51 @Daisydreamer @Former-Member and all forumites here. Congratulations on your achievements!

@Anastasia thanks for your great list of achievements! I'm so proud of you for posting👍🏻!

@LostAngel thanks for posting your achievements once again⭐️!

Today, my achievements were:

- I finally did some of this weeks psychology coursework at long last. Admittedly, I started it at 4:15pm but I still got some work completed so that was the main thing. As long as I get it combo Sunday night, I'll be cool in that subject!

- I worked in my Mental Health Recovery Blanket (the first strip of 4 pieces for the final border)

- I dealt with the flashbacks of my psychosis episode that I was admitted to hospital for in September by reading over my journal entries and am now still amazed at how I got through the episode and managed to survive it. I was such a sick person there in that part of my mental health journey that I can see why I needed to be admitted to hospital and how far I've come since then. I can also see the things I learnt at PARCS and that I will need to find the information from my PARCS sessions to refresh my memory on what was taught in the valuable sessions at the facility

- I listened to Bryan Adams on Apple Music via my iPhone and enjoyed listening to the music!

- I spoke to my sister on the phone

- I took all of my meds today without forgetting any.

Keep those achievements coming in forumites!
