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!

Dishwashers use less water than hand washing @TAB. As for chemicals it's either dish washing tablets or liquid detergent and it all gets rinsed off in water hotter than hand washing can achieve.

Each to their own but please don't try and tell me I am wrong for using my dishwasher.

I am sick of being told I am wrong, what I do is wrong, what I say is wrong. I might as well just give up.

I dont care what you do with your dishes @ENKELI perhaps have a Greek Wedding with them every day ?

I wouldnt use a dishwasher. What you do is up to you.

Re: Daily Achievements!

hey @ENKELI i hear your frustration. i think tab was just trying to help and share his preference, and i see how those words can be triggering to hear.

"Each to their own" is a lovely way of saying it, we all have our preferences and choices, nothing wrong with that at all - for me, i do a bit of both handwashing dishes and using the dishwasher depending on my energy levels and amount of dishes piled up!

Re: Daily Achievements!

@Mustang67 you have given me to great examples of why perfectionism can be a waste of time.

Thank you very much for sharing your experience with me.

You made me feel validated and good about myself.

We have come a long way.
