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!

Good morning everyone. Seems like it's been a very productive week for some of you. Awesome job 👏.

This week I actually felt confident enough to leave the house for the first time in about 3 months. I managed to drive myself to Woolies and buy groceries. I normally have them delivered. I was a bit foggy and slightly confused when I was there, but managed to do a whole shop without any panic attacks. Tomorrow I am going to take myself to the chemist.

I know it might not sound like much but it's a very big achievement for. Feeling proud 🙌.

Hope everyone is doing well 💗

Hi @dehaha that's an awesome achievement

I find the supermarket can be pretty overwhelming on a good day, so having this be your first visit out of the house in a few months is amazing!

I hope you're able to bask in this feeling of pride for a bit, you earned it for sure!

@dehaha don't downplay your massive achievement lovely, going out to a supermarket, driving yourself, that is nothing short of amazing.

Congratulations, I hope you continue to go from strength to strength 🤗🥳

Re: Daily Achievements!
