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 @Judi9877 and others visiting the thread

Have issue with night med't'n also. They help me to sleep, which is secondary to the primary reason, but still important. Get to 11.30 pm and think "flop it, better take them now".

Cheers, @HenryX

Re: Daily Achievements!

I'm loving this as an ongoing prompt @Judi9877 to think of those things through the day that can mean a whole bunch.


Today: For me I'd like to share I had these as my acheievments

- went for a stroll in morning as the sun was rising (I never regret it when I do this - but sometimes sleep is more important).

- took my lunch break outside
- met a few new people & introduced myself (I have social anxiety esp when first meeting people)

- spotted a pair of willy wagtails trying to deter a carrawong away from what I think was a nest (birds)

Excited to hear of any other's if you're keen to share 🙂

Re: Daily Achievements!

todays acheivements are hot shower,change into clean clothes then back to bed after eating ,to rest,feel like an over acheiver,wanting to connect with others,wanting to talk to people,now changed my mind would rather spend the day in bed alone,being introspective I am safe just isnt it strange how you think oh I want to reach out and talk to someone but then you change your mind and go oh Ill just sleep everything off for the rest of the year type thinking ,dont want to annoy someone by messaging too much

Re: Daily Achievements!

Thanks for sharing @LostAngel
Nothing like a hot shower & clean clothes.
Sounds like a restful time.

I can relate to that feeling of sudden change of mind & wanting both of those things your referring to.
Maybe the time for connecting with others & extroversion will feel more alive tomorrow? or another time.
