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!

sounds good @Former-Member

I survived another round of workers in house this morning, got socks ordered from post office, got food treat from bakery lol

Re: Daily Achievements!

@TAB thats good it went ok with workmen, it must come as a pleasant surprise. Some nice socks and a day out for you! I did not water my garden enough for the seeds to germinate last time so am watering every day now. I was under the impression you only watered once a week but not so with seeds. So the rest of my seeds are in and will give it my best shot keeping the soil moist but not overwatered. I hope that they germinate properly this time. Silly moi xxoo

Re: Daily Achievements!

yeah well its still not finished re job, but its a lot closer now than it was a few days ago @Former-Member think they are dirty on me cos complained to landlord and to them about not having a shower for months ha ha they dont talk to me anymore , so no idea when they are back. soon hopefully.

you can still water seeds you put in originally ? they dont die, they are still good, just need water to break down shell and start germination

I dont do 'x's (just ask greenpea etc lol ) @Bunniekins but backatya lol

Re: Daily Achievements!

Yes I kept watering after you told me to and looks like a lettuce may have come up as the leaf is irregular in shape. And another unusual looking leaf thingy could be silverbeet or brussel sprout. Stuff is really coming up in one planter which got shade and the soil was more moist than the others which is a surprise. While the seeds failed in the other 3 planters. But in the one I mentioned stuff was sprouting. So it needs more water. So will water every day and fertilise once a week.

Re: Daily Achievements!

sometimes things are in dirt already and random things sprout after watering @Former-Member think prob leave fertiliser til after things are big, dont think seedlings can handle it, not sure

think so long as soil always damp, doesnt matter how often water so long as soil doesnt get dry, stick finger in to 2nd knuckle, it should be damp at that depth 😁

Re: Daily Achievements!

Thanks @TAB I will keep watering every day. But yeah a few things sprouted so will let it keep growing. I usually water at night so it doesn't evaporate

@MDT @Judi9877 @TAB @Former-Member @pinklollipop15 @Shaz51 hello everyone, hope you are all travelling okay. Since mid January, I have been doing more things at home and at work, going out more with friends. It came to a state of intense agitation and stress that I had to cancel work today. My achievement today is to have survived suicide thoughts. Still alive and hope to get better soon

Take care all
