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.

Quiet day today.

My $250 cost of living payment was in my bank this morning so I got a headstart on next weeks bills and put the feelers out to buy some firewood as my previous supplier isn't doing wood this year.

Did a load of washing and forgot to put it on the line and it's raining now so on the airer it goes. Luckily I have fire going so it'll dry overnight.

Started trying to do the exercises set by my therapist. That ended in tears.

Put the wheelie bin out.

Now watching Masterchef.

I guess those exercises my therapist gave me upset me more than I realized.

Sleep didn't come easy last night and I woke several times. Finally got a few hours after a coffee at 5am.

  • Picked up my medications from the chemist
  • Got some firewood organised to be delivered tomorrow
  • Tackled the AEC training and finished the first section with a 100% score on the assessment. Two to go.
  • Made some chicken & veg soup
  • Cleaned out the parrots cage.
  • Bought a new puzzle book and completed three puzzles.

Good evening @Scream58 @MDT @TAB @Meowmy @Rosemary4 @Shaz51 @RedHorse @Dimity @maddison @tyme @Former-Member @hanami @Ugly_Trout @Daisydreamer and all forumites here. Well done on your achievements everyone! I’m so proud of each of you!

I’ve had an interesting few days of achievements with the main ones being:

- Drove 4 hours to Bairnsdale today via a stop in Sale for a quick break

- Learnt to calm down with some beanie knitting since I left my anxiety meds at home

- Packed my bags for the holiday

- Did some crochet of my granny square blanket

- Started a new kids jumper on Tuesday

- Drove my housemate to see her psychologist on Tuesday afternoon

That’s it from me. I just thought I’d also let you know that I’ll be away from this discussion thread for at least a week whilst I take time out to recharge and regroup so please keep this wonderful discussion thread going while I’m away as I look forward reading all of your achievements.

Take care!

Judi9877☺️💐
