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.

Yeah I get that he was a hard worker @TAB

Anyway, once it is all sorted, you will be able to make some housing choices and settle down yourself ... if thats possible ... you seem to have a little wanderlust ...

Hi there @Appleblossom @TAB @Dimity @Former-Member @BenjiBoy @Shaz51 @Former-Member @FloatingFeather @hanami @tyme @Faith-and-Hope @Snowie @Captain24 @MDT @maddison @OscarJones @Former-Member @Bunniekins and all forumites here.

Long time, no post for me so I’ve decided to post a few things I’m proud to say I’ve achieved over the past few weeks which have been:

- Drove through the city and back again in a week whilst going on holidays to Echuca between 1-8/9.

- Survived the holiday without taking my anxiety medicine

- Lost some weight which I didn’t expect but is a good thing

- Started wearing my Fitbit inspire hr watch and have learnt a lot more about my sleeping patterns

- Saw my case manager and resident psychiatrist before going away

- Filled the car with fuel for the first time in ages

- Drove to Swan Hill and Kyabram for day trips whilst away and got to play with 2 dingoes at the fauna park

- Rode a paddle steamer at Echuca

- Visited the Bendigo Woollen Mills and purchased some wool for a blanket

- Started knitting a new scarf for my housemate with wool she purchased at Bendigo Woollen Mills

- Had a GP Telehealth appointment before I went away

- Started knitting a new Crazy Blanket which I’m undecided with as to either keep for myself or give to charity

- Dropped my cat off at my sisters house so she could mind her whilst I was away on holiday

That’s all from me! Keep those achievements coming in!

Take care and stay safe forumites!

Re: Daily Achievements!

Wow @Judi9877

That is a lot of achievements. It sounds like your trip away was really good. I am glad you could enjoy yourself. Going away sometimes helps us reset.

Have a good day xoxo

Re: Daily Achievements!

Oh @Judi9877 this is amazing!! You go girl😄 Reading your posts, it is incredible how far you've come in the space of a few short months. Sounds like the holiday was a great success. Awesome job.👍

I'm curious tho.... Is a Crazy Blanket a description, or a new style of knitting?

A new daily achievement for me lately, is that I've been spending time working on an art project. It was originally a pastel drawing. I have been creating, designing effects on computer with it 🙂
