Daily Achievements!

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!

@TAB I can wholeheartedly reassure you that I have done and am doing all of the things on your list.

✅ Drink 2 litres of water

✅ Box breath work & 4 - 7 - 8 in the sauna

✅ Have sleep meds

✅ GP follow up in 2 weeks

I was having trauma responses until I started on new medication.

You got to remember I was in a psychologically, emotionally and financially abusive relationship for 13 years.

I’ve got to give my lawyer as much ammunition as she needs.

Re: Daily Achievements!

@TAB my daughters are taking me out tomorrow night. Drinks, dinner and then ARC Led Zeppelin IV at Perth Concert Hall.

I don’t think we will get too messy 🤔

But it will release some pressure.
