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 stuff @TAB keep at it with housework. It will make you feel clearer psychologically. Theres certainly something in feng shui. Yeah worth checking out swimming pools near you. Once a week is doable. You could do cycling, walking and swimming. At the pool you could wear a t-shirt over your swimmers if it makes you feel any better. Its what plus size folks at the pool do if it makes you feel more comfortable. I thought it was funny the lawnmower sales dude calling it a hot rod! Hopefully it works properly and does the job.

Have gone to GP

HAve got some names of local psychologists which i can sus out and see if i wanna go there

Have managed to bump into my partner on the train - haha. IT was nice to happen. She took a photo of me and sent it to me. haha.

Came to coffee shop and figured out second uni offer. BAsically a case of me working the system out and making it work for me. Well worth it just to see i think

Will then head to uni office to ask them for help about class attendance (saying i can't attend first few weeks of class so might lose 10%).

Will then reply to email from local pastor. Wanna start an email chain asking about theology etc. Coz why not?

Will then read and chill for rest of day

Re: Daily Achievements!

Well done @TAB I did my rego the day before you!

Ok, well I'm not coping today. I think reading all you achievement maybe have me tiny bit of light.

So far, I slept in till 12ish. Had worst feeling. Gota my cats their breakfast. Ate my food. Put kettle on, but am too depressed to make myself cuppa. I have taken meds. Hoping, waiting for them to kick in. Looked it the window. Saw, I had no future. Then, a quiet voice said 'one day at a time' so that's what is keeping me alive today. Sorry for the dramatics.

I looked online cause I recalled the church has free lunch today - but I am too late. Thought about going on SANE. Didn't know what I would possibly write. Then my phone notifications told me Hams mentioned me ... & I ended up here.
