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!

Great job @MDT and all!

Today I have;

- made the bed

- had a call with my broker

- sent a few work emails

- vacuumed up the floors

- did the dishes and put the kitchen back to normal

- finished whipper snipping the front lawn (a big effort for me but it looks a lot better now) Although I may have gone a little strong as now I have a bit of a headache coming on. I have had a berroca and water and now am relaxing in the a/c.

Going to take it easy for the rest of the day 🙂

Re: Daily Achievements!

Today I:
- Finally completed an application after realising how I had structured it was bad. So I put in the effort to justify doing the thing in the first place. Dunno how it will go, but it looks vaguely related to what I am looking at.
- Went and got a coffee and spoke to barrista about life in your 20s. What is worth doing etc, study and such.
- Came home and fixed up something i needed to do for placement. Took me longer than I wanted but I kind of got lost in it which was nice. But then it was testing my patience. Finished it finally.
- Tried to do some meditation/trance thing but didn't work as too much is on my mind.
- looked at my calendar and fixed it a bit
- tried to do some study, but needed to focus on doing some more personal development after my shocking interview last week. But it was helpful to articulate in writing what was going on. I feel depressed now. But I guess it helped me to clear that out of my brain.
- doing uni now but dunno how long i will last
