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.

Re: Daily Achievements!

That’s a lot @Eve7 when even getting out of bed can feel like a mountain of a task

Re: Daily Achievements!

I'm really struggling with getting out of bed these past few days, so that's my major achievement for today.

Also:
- took meds
- got dressed
- brushed my hair outside
- ate and drank something
- checked in with the forum

That's it for today; not much but better than nothing.

Take care Forumites,

Good evening @RedHorse @Eve7 @TAB @Bow @Meowmy @Shaz51 @MDT @tyme @Former-Member @Daisydreamer @Dimity @pinklollipop15 @cloudcore and all forumites here. Well done on your wonderful achievements everyone! Even celebrating getting out of bed is a massive achievement as well as the simple fact you actually woke up to face the day ahead and I’m so proud of every person here for doing just that so well done ⭐️👍🏻!

Today has been a positive day for me which has resulted in several noteworthy achievements:

- Had a wonderful session tonight with my psychologist

- Learnt that I’m not crazy or dangerous as I thought I was last night when experiencing a psychotic episode thanks to my psychologist telling me this tonight

- Did an 11 minute Smiling Mind meditation session and felt really relaxed yet happy afterwards

- Read a chapter of a book titled Rachel’s Holiday and was able to keep my focus on it. I’ve set myself a challenge to read the book within the next month so I’ll have something to report back to my psychologist as a way of relaxing and unwinding

- Spoke to my Tafe counsellor today

- Listened to my body and chose to take it easy today after feeling worn out after last night’s psychosis episode

- Worked on knitting more of a baby jumper and was able to get up to a new section of it in different coloured yarn

Overall, I’m pretty happy with how today has gone for me!

Re: Daily Achievements!

Today I enjoyed the second week of my new weekly class then found my way home via 2 buses. I still had energy to cook and wash up so it was a good day.
