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!

Today I cleaned up the pile of guinea pig poop in the corner of my study (don’t worry their cage is clean it’s just the room) and that’s something I’ve struggled to do for days so I’m really grateful that I was able to today (possibly because I got my meds adjusted). Hoping that tomorrow I’ll be able to wash their blankets and cut the fabric for a new cage liner.

@BlueBay posting was another achievement.

Well done @Judi9877 @Meowmy @Wintersweet @LostAngel

I got through the day without anxiety. I'm taking my meds and antibiotics. I requested some quotes on house maintenance/improvements. I grazed. I tidied a little. I tried to water the garden but the hose fitting needs to be replaced - a job for tomorrow as the temperature will be mid30s for nearly a week. I chatted with a friend. The cat seems happy.

@Meowmy @Judi9877 @oceangirl @Dimity @LostAngel Well done to you! And thank you because it means so much to know that there are people who understand when things that “should be easy” just aren’t.
