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!

Hi all

Today I made it to my physio appointment. As we were working on my arm the physio asked how the exercising was going. I almost broke down crying as it was unexpected and she seemed to show real concern. I managed to mumble out an answer, like I'm working on it but its hard for me at the moment, but all that came out was my mumbled "good". I guess besides family no one really shows much concern anymore for me and maybe that's how the world is now.

My other achievement today was a shower and shave.

I'm working on actually going out to my balcony and using my bbq. I usually just cook them inside. The balcony is a bit of a wasted space except when mum and dad come over, we'll eat out there.

Today I also realised how far I can go if I put my mind and heart into it. It is a weird realisation to FEEL. I have known it for some time. But to FEEL it is different still.

Onwards I go.

Today I met with my Social Worker. We talked about the hideous week I had and my reaction to it. There were lots of tears. First time she has actually seen me cry. She has a wonderful way of helping me put things into perspective.

After the session I shouted myself a Hokey Pokey ice cream from the lolly shop which just happened to be right where my car was parked.

Did a couple of loads of washing, hung them on the line and got them in when dry.

Baked a batch of custard cream biscuits. Hoping to see the grandkids over Easter so being a good Nanny. I feel like I should have an apron on. 😂👵

I am feeling better today. Hope it lasts.

Hokey Pokey lol @Scream58 ru fm Enzed lol not sure if ever tried one, used to knock around with dodgy kiwi guy a few years back , guess thats where I heard it

In response to: Re: Daily Achievements!

Re: Daily Achievements!

@TAB

Hokey Pokey is basically honeycomb & toffee ice cream. Very sweet. One scoop is enough.

Kiwi reminds me of my trip to NZ. I asked for an egg and bacon pie. The shop assistant corrected me. You means bacon and egg! That always amused me.

Re: Daily Achievements!

Yes I know, its all crumbled re honeycomb they have them here at IGA . @Scream58 yeah I could imagine that re pies. Never been there lol . I lost count of times was asked if I was from there, got told had an accent lol didn't realise I did. Last time someone said it asked them what made them think that , they were a bit taken aback said cos I was polite lol
