Daily Achievements!

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.

Good evening @Meowmy @LostAngel @Daisydreamer @Appleblossom @MDT @Shaz51 @sm678 @TAB @oceangirl @utopia @PhoenixJ @Former-Member @Former-Member @tyme and all forumites here. Well done on your achievements everyone!

I want to apologise for not posting over the last few days. I’ve had a depressive period and I’ve also had a meds issue which is now sorted out. Add to dealing with life and some choices I’ve had to make and life certainly hasn’t been much fun for me lately. I’m back on board now to record some achievements I’m proud of from the past few days. Enjoy!

- I emailed a message to my psychologist to let them know what’s been going on in my life and about my mental health issues which I need help with

- I had a relaxing shower before bed

- I finally got rid of my old car to an auto wrecker and got some money for it

- I finished knitting another beanie snd started another one

- I dealt successfully with a panic attack using knitting as my coping mechanism

- I spoke to my sister about my self harm and suicidal thoughts episodes and explained what it meant for me and how she could help me in the future when I’m feeling this way which she found to be helpful

- I watched the tennis on TV

- I weighed myself and was happy with the result

- I had Singapore noodles for dinner

- I downloaded some more music to my iPhone from Apple Music

- I took time out to rest when I needed to and really enjoyed the experience as part of my self care strategy

Keep those achievements coming in! I really enjoy reading what you each see as achievements and enjoy celebrating them with you🥳!

Take care!

Judi9877☺️💐
