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 morning @Dimity and others here. Thanks very much for being concerned about me! I’ve had a head cold/sinus infection last week before I did my declaration Officer role for the federal election last Saturday - 21/5. So I haven’t been in perfect condition lately.

I’ve also been struggling mentally with things including have a bad run of suicidal thoughts and feelings which have since passed. I had my psychologist yesterday who said I’m making improvements on my outlook towards life and my relevant dramas that seem to happen which is a positive I guess. I’ve just been struggling with what I want from life as part of me is sick and tired of studying yet it seems that’s the only thing I know how to do well yet don’t complete things I start. I’ve been looking at volunteer work in the form of op shop retail roles so I’m hoping something like that comes off as I think I might like it.
I’ve also been struggling with motivation and sleep as well so that’s also had an impact on how I see my life and what happens in it.

Yesterday, I woke up with a crazy idea of wanting to build something out of Lego so I used some gift vouchers to purchase some from Big W. See below for the items I made out of a kit I purchased.

Basically, over the past week, my achievements have been as follows:

- Waking up

- Having a meal or 2 if I can be bothered eating - Taking meds

- Doing some knitting/crochet

- Resting on my bed to fill in time and to help with boredom

- Taking my housemate shopping

- Checking out Facebook

- Watching Home and Away

Definition- not a whole lot but achievements anyway.

Keep those achievements coming!

Judi9877☺️💐
