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!

I went on a walk to admire nature (accompanied), I went grocery shopping and put the trolley back on my own not letting my fear get to me.

Re: Daily Achievements!

Wooohoo! Achievement unlocked @Trickster !!! This is awesome! I have questions for you now...

1. What's one thing you noticed on your walk?
2. How did you feel after you were able put back the trolley on your own?
3. How did it feel to write this post and share with us all your daily achievements?

I AM PROUD OF YOU!

Warmest,
PizzaMondo 🙂

1.Mangroves even if invasive they're still beautiful
2.Better less fear being in a public place
3.Scary but relieving I wish other people could see my progress but I know for my safety sharing it here is at least something.

Re: Daily Achievements!

1. I agree with you @Trickster - while I don't know what the area looks like that you walked through, I love that you were able to notice the mangroves - they provide a home for so many creatures too!
2. Amazing - were you also accompanied by someone on your grocery trip - wondering if that was helpful if you did..
3. Scary but relieving, that is powerful in itself I feel! Baby steps, check in with your capacity too, and perhaps in the near future you will feel comfortable to share your progress with others, other than here on the forums! We're here to support you on that journey too!

Hi 👋🏼 @Judi9877 @PizzaMondo @Trickster @Emelia8 @Shaz51

I accessed St Vinnie’s support services today.

I’ve been putting it off for months. Wish I had done it earlier.
