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 @ShiningStar @Meowmy @TAB @Boo13 @Dimity @RedHorse @MDT @Shaz51 @Eve7 @pinklollipop15 @maddison @tyme @Former-Member @Daisydreamer @Former-Member @Paperdaisy @frog @Anastasia @LostAngel and all forumites here. Well done on your achievements⭐️!

Welcome to this discussion thread @ShiningStar @Boo13 . I’m so glad you could join in on this wonderful thread! I hope to read about your achievements should you choose to post them.

The past weekend has been quite good after I emerged from my little suicidal episode on Thursday and Friday (that’s why I didn’t post here on the forum but I’m fine now thanks to a great mental health clinician at the ambulance service here in Melbourne). This is why I’m going to list the things I achieved over this past weekend as an achievement for coming through a rough patch in my life and overall mental health journey. They are:

- Had a shower

- Knitted and complete beanie number 24 and posted on Facebook

- Started a training course on the Emerging Minds website focusing on understanding child mental health which I’m finding really interesting and enjoyable at the same time

- Took meds

- Ate lunch and dinner

- Started a new crochet granny square blanket today and felt really calm yet happy whilst working in it for most of the afternoon

- Spoke to my sister on the phone

- Watched the nightly news

- Read more of my book ‘Rachel’s Holiday’

- Wrote down some notes in my phone about my thoughts of my suicidal issues to talk to my psychologist about in a fortnight’s time

- Took photos of Mitz my cat acting silly in my wardrobe

- Checked out Facebook

- Posted on the sane forums

Overall I’m pretty happy with what I achieved this weekend considering my previous 2 bad days before that. I hope each of you are proud of your achievements no matter how big or small they may be. Just remember that waking up and getting through the day are massive achievements that each of us do every day despite our issues and that alone deserves to be celebrated🥳!

Take care!

Judi9877☺️💐🍀

The past couple of days I've gotten out of bed and completed most of the basic routine tasks. Am on track to do the same today.
