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!

Hello everyone and well done on your daily achievements.

Today I got out of bed a bit earlier than usual and after getting dressed gave my hair a good brush in the sunshine before tying it up out of the way.

Next I cleaned up a small area in my caravan that needed my attention.

Later I had a long phone conversation with my daughter, followed by some time outside trying to tame my overgrown food forest.

Now I'm about to eat some dinner (pasta leftovers from last night with freshly picked salad) and will distract myself with a YouTube video or movie before taking my meds and heading to bed.

Take care, RedHorse 🌹🐴

Re: Daily Achievements!

I was amazingly Resilient & Determined in my efforts to find & buy my essential shopping/ grocery items both yesterday (Saturday) + today (Sunday).

Despite being exhausted, & having extra physical health issues in recent weeks.

Panic Buyers had emptied the shelves of many items in 5 shops.

So I had to go to 6 different Supermarkets/ Shops (yesterday + today) - Just to get my few ordinary essential grocery items.

Normally/ Usually I would be able to Easily buy all of that (everything) at just one Shop.

Very frustrating, tiring + took a lot more time & effort than usual.

Yet in the end I got (bought) them all - Everything.

I didn't feel well when I woke up this morning and it was very hot so I decided to concentrate on self care today. Achievements are:
- got up
- made bed
- took meds
- ate some brunch
- had a shower
- rested quietly under the fan
- stayed hydrated
- typed out a text message
- played a few games on my phone
- checked in with the forum
That's about it so far...
