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!

Today I:

- did all the dishes, even though I found it draining

- packed my suitcase for my upcoming respite

- remembered to take all of my medication

Its not much, but it's enough.

.."just a little is more than enough" said Jimi in All along the Watchtower @Th0ughtlessss lol

dishes .. draining .. yeah okay , I'll leave that. Mine are too. self-wiping in effect. As I never do. they sit on sink and .. drain .. lol.

I do not own an iron either. can only tolerate a certain level of filth tho and this varies.

makes me think of when in share house like 30 years ago.. other tenant (brothers mate) sees house owner (brother) prob hungover, using his vacuum cleaner (only one in house) .. hey xxx , didnt think you had a licence do drive that ? as in never seen you use it b4 .. was hilarious .. lol

Hi @Th0ughtlessss

Well done on what you managed to get done.

Some days, I struggle just to get out of bed. And doing the dishes is the last thing on my mind.

But I too, managed to do the dishes on Monday. But that was all I managed.

Small steps 🤗
