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!

@Glisten I used to work with a guy who, when asked how are you, would reply "still vertical".

So each day above ground is a bonus at the moment.

How is your Friday treating you? I admit to being unproductive and staying in bed longer than I should have. Right now I'm downloading music onto a USB for the car and checking emails.

Life is okay right now.

Love you xoxo

Re: Daily Achievements!

Went to a new health clinic specifically for Aboriginal people to see a new gp I don’t know and get a referral for mental health support<br>I was going to go and tell them I wanted a referral to the trauma place but I backed out of that part @rav3n such a friggen baby lol

In response to: Re: Daily Achievements!

Re: Daily Achievements!

ohh i see! @ArraDreaming going in and getting the referral itself can be so overwhelming, so proud of you for getting that done!! i remember struggling to speak up with my gp when i was trying to get my referral too - it happens. its still a win that you went into the clinic and did it!

is it possible to ask for the referral to be changed to the trauma place by phone/email or do you have to go back to the clinic to get that done?

In response to: Re: Daily Achievements!

Re: Daily Achievements!

Idk @rav3n that’s too hard

In response to: Re: Daily Achievements!

Re: Daily Achievements!

You won’t catch me dead calling somewhere if I can avoid

In response to: Re: Daily Achievements!

Re: Daily Achievements!

that's so fair, i hate making phone calls too my mind just goes blank 😥 @ArraDreaming

hopefully it gets sorted out once your referral comes through later on
