Daily Achievements!

@utopia yes yesterday was a good day. Today I tended to pot plants and went for a walk. Keeping up with current affairs makes me feel connected even if the news is bad, so giving it up isn't easy for me.

Good evening @Dimity @utopia @Shaz51 @BlueBay @Adge @LostAngel @pinklollipop15 @Daisydreamer @Former-Member @Former-Member and all forumites here. Well done on your achievements everyone!

Today, my achievements were:

- I got out of bed

- I spoke to my sister on the phone

- I fed my cat dinner

- I took my meds

- I dealt with constant chatter of 2 voices without calling psych triage (my schizophrenia is really causing me issues and I refuse to call out for help which I've spoken about to my psychologist who knows my situation unless absolutely necessary)

- I watched the night session of The Ashes on TV.

That's all from me tonight.

Take care.

Good evening @LostAngel @Meowmy @Dimity @utopia @Shaz51 @frog @Daisydreamer @Former-Member @Former-Member @nony @MDT and all forumites visiting here.

@LostAngel I'm so proud of you for being able to reach out and call out for help on your chosen support lines. You are so brave and courageous and I greatly admire you so well done on doing that 👍🏻⭐️! I just wish I had your skills and courage to do so as I'm scared of calling out for help in case I'm wasting the helplines time, especially when it comes to my areas psych triage helpline. I've been told by my psychologist a week ago that the reason I struggle to call out for help is because he thinks I'm too high functioning and therefore I have it myself that I believe I should be able to handle all my mental health issues myself since I'm the person living with them and that no one else can help me. This is something I'm having trouble getting my head around because usually when I call out for help, it's usually in absolute crisis mode and I always get told I should've called out for help a lot sooner than I usually do. I think it also happens to be because I'm stubborn as well and like to think that I know it all and nothing can change that in me. This is an area I'm planning to work on with my psychologist in the new year as I know it is a barrier of mine that I need to get sorted out because it's costing me in more ways than one. Any ideas or suggestions to help me conquer this belief/logic would be greatly appreciated, forumites!
@Meowmy thanks very much for your kind thoughts and concerns about me☺️!

Today, I achieved the following things:

- I had a shower

- I watched the Ashes on TV (again!)

- I finally completed strip 2 of 9 strips for my Crazy Blanket for my housemate/best friends Christmas blanket and sewed it up so I don't lose it!

- I posted on Sane forums about my role as a Community Guide as applications are now ope @LostAngel have you considered being a Community Guide? I think you'd be great at it with all of your wonderful knowledge and information regarding mental health and helplines. Just something for you and others here to think about!

- I spoke to my sister about her day out seeing Moulin Rouge in the city which she really enjoyed

- I dealt with our property owner regarding the laundry taps when he came over.

Thats all from me tonight! Keep those fabulous daily achievements coming as I really enjoy reading them!

@Judi9877 well done. Great work.

@Judi9877 . I also struggle to ph for help until I am in an absolute crisis. I am getting a little better calling earlier regarding my mental health. But I'm struggling to incorporate it into other areas of my health. Currently having tests for Endometrial cancer (uterus). First test done. Waiting on appointment time for 2nd test where they will take cells to check for cancer. Not sleeping at night. Ok during the day, but at night I can't turn my worry off. Looked at Cancer Council call line number, but tell myself it's not for me, because I'm not diagnosed. It's meant for people with cancer. And LifeLine etc won't be any help. What are they doing to say, "try not to think about it". So I don't quite fit anywhere.

I relate.

.. it's only 3.30am lol ..have recharged phone (didnt know it was going to run out) so I could

lodge Centrelink (worked a whole 4.5hours last fortnight) ..what a system..

have run a bath and started on meds

Going to be hot this week.

so here's the 'shoulds' list

I ..Should go to bunnings today and get huge rolls of alfoil and bubblewrap and put them on the windows.. , method .. wet, well dampen window, apply alfoil, smooth out, it sticks, dont ask how or why lol

then will try layer of bubble wrap as apparently this less common method traps air.insulates as well

then really 'Should' get some shadecloth and drape over worst windows for heat...

..and get a better fan.. kmart ones are always $15 but they get worse every couple years when get the next lot lol

Oh. plus a new basin to cool feet off in .(old one has become a bird bath for doves lol) and some squirty bottles to spray self with as last batch from hot summer few years ago have all disappeared/ok recycled themselves ...lolo ..bit like the solar rechargable lamp left on back lawn to ..recharge once, then lawn grew over it and I recycled it by running over with lawnmower lolz ..lucky as batteries were so charged up were about to catch fire after few months in sun, gotta love Kmart lol .... @Judi9877 @utopia @Meowmy @LostAngel @Dimity
