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!

@Emelia8 I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of your husband. You must be in so much pain. Sending my heart felt wishes to you, please take care 💞🌺🌹💞

@Judi9877 Thank you for starting this post. Today I started sorting my photos on the iPad. It is emotionally draining to delete them even though I have printed them out. Something I have been putting off for a long long time.

@frog my condolences to you too, hope you are coping with your loss 💞🌺

Re: Daily Achievements!

Hi everyone! Thanks for all the great comments on this new thread! It makes me so happy that you are each finding this post enjoyable and inspiring so well done to each and everyone of you😎👍!

Today, my achievements have been:

- Having a relaxing afternoon nap which I really needed;

- Downloading and reading a cross stitching magazine and getting some ideas from it;

- Having tomato soup for dinner which I haven't had in ages and was really yummy!

- Reading all these wonderful achievements here on the forums which are so enjoyable and so motivating to read.

Keep those achievements rolling along forumites! Remember, all achievements count whether that be as simple as getting out of bed for the day or as big as giving the whole house a clean! I'm so proud of every single forum member 👏

Re: Daily Achievements!

@Emelia8 - so good to see you!!! Well done! re tribute photos (must have been hard), and meetings, and self care... Food high in magnesium helps cramps (bananas, potatoes...). Amazes me how we survive life's darkest moments. Just have to I guess. Wishing you lots of love, and tea breaks (every 2nd hour) 🌸💗🌸💗🌸

I bought bananas when I went into town briefly yday. Will have one for lunch. I know I am dehyrated, just need to keep aware and remember to sip water more regularly.

@Everybody!

you are all doing so well and hearing the joy in the posts is really heartwarming.

Even a neurotypical carer, like me, needs to be reminded that the small things we achieve every day still count.

GREAT THREAD!

love to all
