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!

Maccas IS expensive now, isn't it @TAB @Eve7 ? Thank goodness I don't go there much. Can't say I have a taste for Maccas.

As for fish and chips, I hope the $70 meal filled the family! I went out the other week to a little cafe. Since COVID, they now have surcharges for everything! Surcharge for card payment, surcharge for weekends, surcharge for a plastic bag, surcharge for a takeaway container.... hrm... I've even seen a meme about all these surcharges.

But I also acknowledge how difficult it is for restaurant owners. Staff shortages, huge spike in raw ingredients, long wait times for deliveries...

I don't have an answer.

Re: Daily Achievements!

We never had much as kids either only school uniforms, books and food. You would think my parents were operating an orphanage @TAB. But they were a product of war. I avoid takeaway as much as possible, just heat up gluten free pies, have DIY baked fish and chips with salad. BTW, we are seeing the middle classes slipping through the cracks and businesses being bankrupted, people will lose their money through the banks by default so we will eventually all be on a basic universal income.
