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!

Oh I get the comfort zone thing @TAB . But I reckon there's a fair chance you'll enjoy it and feel better for doing it (your mileage may vary lol)

I know it sounds a bit crazy, but are there local cabbies to get you home? Maybe even an RSL community bus thingy?

In response to: Re: Daily Achievements!

Re: Daily Achievements!

In response to: Re: Daily Achievements!

Re: Daily Achievements!

I thought the cab was a long shot

Sounds like a plan man 🙂

Re: Daily Achievements!

I'm sorry you have to face this @TAB. If I am faced with a big group of attendees I will wear amazonite crystal and black tourmaline. The amazonite stops the feeling that I'm being overwhelmed by outside erratic and unpredictable energy coming from people, the black tourmaline gives a dash of extran confidence. I understand how you must feel, I truly do. Maybe just go there and if it gets too much just have your exit plan in place. If you have to leave early or have overwhelm just be kind to yourself, pat yourself on the back for trying. Try and calm yourself and say you will keep trying little by little bit by bit. You haven't socialised much since I've known you and it takes a lot at our age after a lifetime of living and health issues that punch us in the guts after what we have been through to have to put ourselves out there again.

@TAB

I can’t wait to hear how you went at RSL. Can’t be as bad as it is in your head. It might take a while to get to know the locals but you will slowly get there. Be kind to yourself. Just step over the threshold and give it a try
