Daily Achievements!

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!

Hey everyone!

Just jumping in quickly for a gentle reminder to be careful not to include any specific descriptions of diet/weight/etc when we are talking about our bodies.

I'm sure it is all totally fine, just being extra cautious as it can be easily triggering to people experiencing an eating disorder.

Thank you lovely Forumites 💛

Re: Daily Achievements!

Hey Everyone,

It's my first time posting to this thread...Yay! I can add that to the list 😄

Today has been so beautiful & sunny. It seems a nice send off for the public holiday of mourning the Queen. It was a semi successful day for me.

-i had breakfast

-took my meds

-fed, cleaned attended to pets

- vacuumed

- managed to eventually motivate my friend to get out of bed as he was feeling very sedated

- we went to Officeworks together where I picked up a print of some artwork

- found some good sales & purchased art supplies, sketchbook etc. (I don't think I've ever done this before )

- he was also happy & bought some pencil cases (something he's been pondering & a first too) , along with other stationary

-stuck my art up on the wall when we got home.

Thanks,

maddison
