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!

Thats pretty good for a schnitzel @TAB. I just did some stretches and my muscles were taut. Got to loosen them up some more. Felt better afterwards though. Will include daily stretches on a more regular basis. Just checked out the Mayo Clinic and they have a series of stretches in pictogram format that are easy to do.

Did your doctor ever mention anything about not getting enough iodine in your diet? That can be linked to thyroid and weight gain. There are articles on it online. Don't know how iodine would interract with your post operative situation but lack of iodine can cause extreme fatigue, shakiness and obesity. I would not go ahead and take it as a supp but speak with your doctor first as you don't know how its going to affect your thyroids delicate balance. I'm surprised they have not mentioned it. I have seen fitness instructors blow out in size just because of thyroid issues and their fitness partner dumps them because theyre not in shape!?

I am back on iodine had to stop it because it raised my BP. My blood flows like a river now so iodine is not an issue with BP anymore. Have heard nurses in ED mention it. Just be careful but by all means check it out

@TAB All I know is there is not enough iodine in diets. They added iodine to table salt which is called "iodized salt" so people can access it that way through diet. You can buy iodized salt at any supermarket even home brand has it. You can also get it through seaweed like bladderwrack or most other seaweeds as far as I know. I've hopped back on an iodine supp again and my energy has had a huge uptick in the last 48 hours. I could not take it in the past few years as my blood pressure was too high. Now my blood pressure is ok I can take it.

Re: Daily Achievements!

This is a really cool idea.

Today I organised my yarn stash, took apart my bed to sell and replied to some messages.

Hello everyone @Shaz51 @TAB @tyme and greetings to you @unown

Have been chasing up bank errors and software uninstall refunds. Will get $120 back from being invoiced twice from my computer technician and $80 back from software I downloaded deemed unusable.

I'm hoping for no quibbles refunds regarding these amounts. I check my bank statements on and off and discovered the double invoicing. Will speak to the customer care agent from the software company on Tuesday morning to get my money back from the download that doesn't work
