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.

Re: Daily Achievements!

Good evening forumites! Today, my achievements were:

- I organised a furniture removalist to do the whole move on Tuesday after my housemate and I finally accepted that the job would be too much physically and mentally for both of us to do on our own

- Did some uni coursework

- Went to Build a Bear Workshop to watch my housemate make Hedwig Owl from Harry Potter

- Worked on my adult Crazy Blanket for charity

- Collected the keys to our new property from the owner

- Took some photos of the sunset on my iPhone

- Spoke to my sister on the phone


A pretty good day overall I think. What else did each of you achieve today?

Re: Daily Achievements!

Hello @TAB

Admiration to you for having over-ridden both physical and psychological difficulties in order to move to start and complete the week of work. I hope that the sense of accomplishment will stimulate the desire to pursue more similar goals.

Also support and acknowledgement for taking direct action to get the medication expected and required.

You also give me inspiration and the desire to pursue my own goals, which may include paid work activities. Thank you.

With Best Wishes

@HenryX

Re: Daily Achievements!

think you are probably ahead of me in work potential @HenryX Thanks.yes very out of condition the filth and dirt and stairs can be daunting compared to the lounge, think worked 100 hours this year, ok in 2 weeks, with 4 week break inbetween, just long enough not to keep any physical benefit from the first go round lol. which led to @ Tab doing running commentary 'eff I am good, when it all went beyond expectations. 'esp for been on lounge all year'.. when in very awkward spot blowing off bolts with ox y torch(which is nothing to do with a medication) it is a Tool ..

underneath something nearly on floor with me trying not to burn self. Prob took a minute to get in and out because of my size and was inside a machine lol.

anyway finally got pain meds as prob said. I have a couple appointments, 1 ph and 1 telehealth from perth next week, so might find out a bit more re health issues and what they are going to do if anything. but longer term have to address health issues and get career change moving again re Cert IV in TAE started this year, til couldnt progress any further due to courses being cancelled etc
