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!

@Smc Hey. Its been a while since we "spoke".

Finding a suitable break in the weather is an interesting turn of events when for a long time we seemed to be able to function and take rain/shine/hot/cold for granted.

@puzzlingdino Well done. If the presence of others in the house is limiting you in basic selfcare activities, is there room for discussion.about that? I mean without blame, but understanding the mechanisms of your issues.

@Judi9877 @tyme Cheers

@Shaz51 We keep on keeping on aye ...

Spag Bol, church standing for myself, telling an elder, that I will do gardening "when I feel the call" (not at his whim or habitual bossiness). It was a drawing a line in the sand statement and I think he got the idea. We will see. Then I was sorting through music repertoire in the afternoon. I am pretty driven and would never have survived without being autonomous, self managed and regulate, despite a chaotic childhood..

Re: Daily Achievements!

Sounds like you have accomplished a lot @Judi9877 - you are such an inspiration!

I think it's great you are planning a holiday - I think it helps when we have things to look forward to.

Hope the week ahead is good to you - it sounds like you are off to a great start 🙂!

Warm wishes,

FloatingFeather

Re: Daily Achievements!

Hi there @FloatingFeather and others joining here today. Well done on your achievements!

For my achievements so far today, they have been:

- had a shower

- had breakfast

- helped my housemate lodge a bet for the Melbourne Cup

- did some knitting of a blanket

- checked out Facebook

@FloatingFeather I did go on holiday back at the start of September to Echuca for 8 days but I haven’t got any more holidays planned due to not having any spare money and being undecided about future courses I want to study at the moment and needing time to work that out. Maybe in another 12 months I’ll look at going away again.

Take care!

Judi9877☺️💐

@TAB that sounds like a highly productive day. And very good news on the inheritance front. Well Done.

Hope your surgery review goes well and is all positive.

Re: Daily Achievements!

Ha ha @maddison @Former-Member There used to be the weekly bath on the table, and then there were people selling bathrooms. I am cranky cos often builders wanna put 2 bathrooms in a small house. Being a woman and having to keep them all clean gets a bit old.

With all the cleanliness we are still getting bugs.

I cleaned carpet and wall behind old couch ready for the new arrival. Booked appointment had phone session with shrink. Paced the house as I spoke to him. Not sure if that was good or not. Gardening. Maybe couch will come tmrw its way past delivery window.

@TAB @Judi9877 @Dimity and all ...
