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.

Hi forumites! Well done @Faith-and-Hope @LostAngel and everyone on your achievements. I'm so proud of each of you.

@LostAngel doing things when you are depressed is hard but I'm glad you achieved some things and listed them here in the discussion thread👍

As for me, my achievements were:

- I filled the car up with some petrol despite the price being so high

- I attended a Tafe to do an enrolment and texted my friend when things didn't go to plan and I began to become unwell , a la calling out for help which I often struggle to do

- I had breakfast

- I had a shower

- I participated in a focus group on the phone

- I did some writing in the form of poetry

Overall, a good day for me. Keel those achievements coming!

Nicely done Shaz51

It's been a very difficult last two weeks, during which time I have lost all facets of anything positive.

I tried.

I made it through the day.

Re: Daily Achievements!

Did my physio, but had weird over huffypuffy reaction to a couple minutes on cross trainer. I stuck it to 5 mins. So glad this physio does not blindly push, was concerned and we took it easier. Makes me concerned about it as a side effect of MH meds.
