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!

@Dimity I don’t believe that

Anyone on this forum, on any given day, if you get out of bed, you’re doing well.

We all have struggle days and hit the wall occasionally a little sideways.

We’re human. You have the right to be. G

Yesterday I:

- showed up to my health coach call even though it was a bad week

- discussed my issues with my family

- said no to events that were not emotionally safe for me and scheduled an alternative

Re: Daily Achievements!

Today I took the bus and got some errands done.

Tonight I realised very late noone had put the bins out so I did it.

I can envisage things to do tomorrow.

@Dimity @swift1 @Judi9877 @dehaha @Jynx Over the last two weeks it didn’t occur to me to put my achievements into this thread.

Last week I emailed bank and credit card statements to the paralegal.

Followed by record of my completed car loan. ATO statements 2015 - 2019

This week superannuation balance. Two years of car registration payments. Financial year phone account payments.

Had a 40 minute sauna almost everyday. Which means I had to have a shower. Brushed my teeth twice a day.

It’s exhausting.

Re: Daily Achievements!

@Jynx can’t believe how frustrated I get with myself, because my brain 🧠 isn’t working like it use to.

Under the circumstances it’s good that I went to my GP when I did, or I would not have made it this far.

Re: Daily Achievements!

That would be a big source of frustration for sure @Glisten. Glad you got it sorted in time!

Re: Daily Achievements!
