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!

Good evening @Meowmy @TAB @pinklollipop15 @Dimity @StuF @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Daisydreamer @tyme @MDT @Eve7 @maddison @Former-Member @RedHorse and everyone here.

@Shaz51 sending positive thoughts from here in Melbourne 🥰

Today (Tuesday) - yes., it’s after midnight but I’m still awake which is why I still consider today Tuesday even though it is clearly Wednesday 😂- I achieved the following things:

- Worked on my crochet blanket

- Took my housemate food shopping

- Spent lunch watching Paw Patrol on TV (I actually enjoyed it despite it being a kids show! My favourite pup is Everest the Siberian Husky)

- Took meds

- Had a shower

- Worked on beanie 26

- Checked out Facebook and learnt that boredom is actually a thing to allow you to use your imagination and be creative with ideas to stop you from being bored thanks to an abc kids post. Who says Facebook can’t be educational?

- Had a phone counselling session with my Tafe counsellor where we discussed things like my Tafe course application still being undecided due to an email being referred to a different part of Tafe

- Found an interesting article by an American mental health organisation called The Mighty on BPD and lack of identity which I emailed to myself as a reference point for the future as I found it relevant to me right now

That’s all from me!

Re: Daily Achievements!

Today I drove into town, attended a medical appointment and did some grocery shopping at the IGA.

It doesn't look like much when written down but it sure took an effort.

Take care,

RedHorse 🌹🐴

Hi @Judi9877 @RedHorse @TAB @Meowmy @Dimity

Nice achievements.

Today I worked again - training - was fun.

Feeling less tired tonight which can only be a good thing.

I've had dinner now watching home and away and MAFS.

Hope you all have a great night.

Good evening @RedHorse @Meowmy @TAB @pinklollipop15 @Dimity @tyme @Shaz51 @Eve7 @Daisydreamer @Paperdaisy @Former-Member @cloudcore @Former-Member @LostAngel and all forumites here. Well done on your achievements today!

@RedHorse I’m really proud of what you’ve achieved today. I know you have been struggling lately so a big well done⭐️!

Today was spent at home whilst my housemate went into hospital for dental treatment so although I had the house to myself, I’m pleased to announce I wasn’t bored at all which is something I had been worried about. This happened to me on Christmas Day when she went and visited her family for Christmas dinner and I struggled to entertain myself then so I’m so proud of myself for not being bored today without her around. She should be due home tomorrow since she was operated on late today so I’ll be very pleased to see her when she does come home.

Anyway, here are my achievements for today:

- Finished off beanie 26 and completed beanie 27

- Did some cross stitching on my freehand design

- Worked on preparations for writing up tomorrow’s edition of Thumbs up Thursday - Woohoo! . Yes, it will be posted tomorrow so keep a look out for it. Feel free to add to the discussion thread of forumites who make the community here a great place to be!

- Ate lunch and dinner

- Didn’t watch TV today (my housemate loves watching TV and having it on for company which I put up with to keep her happy)

- Called the hospital to check in on my housemate after not hearing from her after a period of time. The hospital called me back and let me speak to her soon afterwards so w everything is all cool now

- Replied to some discussion threads here on the forums.

- Fed Mitz breakfast and dinner and changed her water bowl

Overall I’m quite happy with what I achieved today. it’s amazing how the little things matter yet still add up to be achievements anyway. At least that’s how I see it!

Take care!

Judi9877☺️💐
