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 @MDT @tyme @Meowmy @Scream58 @TAB @RedHorse @Shaz51 @pinklollipop15 @Eve7 @Former-Member @Daisydreamer @Dimity and all forumites here. Well done on your achievements!

@Meowmy I hope things improve for you soon!

Today has been productive in a small way in that:

- I started knitting a cable scarf again for my housemate’s Mum after losing it in the house move back in November (I brought new wool which arrived today)

- Dis some uni study for 30 mins despite not being motivated to do it

- Took meds

- Ate dinner

- Had an afternoon rest on my bed

- Held my ground in an argument with my housemate which ended well

That’s all from me tonight!

Take care!

Judi9877☺️💐

Today I've filled the woodbox and lit the fire.

Rearranged and vacuumed the living room because I don't like the fire being behind me. I have to move the couch from near the window in summer so the sun doesn't damage it.

Did a load of washing and hung it on the line. Hoping the rain holds off long enough for it to get dry.

@Judi9877 @MDT @tyme @Scream58 @TAB hello everyone. Hope you are all travelling well. I have managed to stay alive and completed all chores at work and home, these past few days. It's not easy. Glad to have support of the forum. Take care all

Re: Daily Achievements!

Sounds like you've accomplished a fair bit today @Scream58 .

Since posting on Overwhelmed and uninspired , I've decided that I'll now write a list for myself and stop procrastinating so I get a few things done!

Thanks for the inspiration @Scream58 and @Former-Member !

Today I got up and dressed, took meds, checked out the garden, ate 3 meals, rested quietly for most of the day - tried not to ruminate on mistakes, failures and lack of motivation...

Tomorrow I have an appointment with my psychiatrist, a 3 hour round trip late in the afternoon, and I'm wondering how I'm going to pull myself together for it. Somehow - because it needs to happen.
