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!

i'm finishing up for the night but just wanted to say that your feelings are valid. setting clear boundaries about what you’re comfortable sharing and asking how they handle confidential information might be worth a try? whatever you feel most comfortable with @ArraDreaming

@ENKELI this weekend I thought I’d build you a bread-brick outdoor bbq and pizza 🍕 oven 😉

Did I tell you one of the guys at the Shed made a loaf 🍞 of bread out of wood 😆 It looks exactly like bread!

Either I purchase a mattress from Temple & Webster or I go to Malga and some other place to see if they have a mattress-in-a-box.

The closest I get to True Crime is watching Only Murders in the Building - so funny. 🤣

What are you doing this weekend?

Want to come patch walls in Bully?

Feed Lenny the Quarter horse a carrot 🥕 Watch the bunnies 🐰 running around?

Re: Daily Achievements!

Today, I didn't wake up until early afternoon and then realised that I had taken my last antidepressant the day before without realising. But my chemist was a 45 minute drive away. I didn't really feel like going to get it, but I said to myself "just get up and do it". I would normally go back to bed and wouldn't care if I missed out on my medication. But I can feel a shift in my way of thinking at the moment.

While near the chemist, I popped in for a visit with my mum, sister and cat, and to collect some coins and little pocket hugs that I ordered.

Unfortunately, my mum wasn't feeling well and my cat was nowhere to be seen. I didn't stay too long, in case what my mum had was infectious.

But I am proud of myself for doing what I knew was the right thing to do, and that was to make sure I didn't miss any antidepressant doses.

Re: Daily Achievements!

@Mustang67 I’m proud of you too. 45 minutes is a heck of drive. Especially when you just woke up.

Well done you 👏🏼

@TAB thanks for all your suggestions Tabby, now I'm craving French toast with cinnamon sugar! The diet will have to wait!

Re: Daily Achievements!

@Glisten that sounds like fun...patching walls!

I'll supervise. And bring sammiches!

I'm going to Bunnings to get some weed and feed, plus look at plants. I have a $50 gift card that I got for Christmas and still haven't used and I thought I'd spend it at Bunnings. You know you're an adult when you buy plants and lawn treatments instead of clothes and toys!!

I've been thinking about you this morning so make sure you look after yourself physically AND mentally my dear dear friend.

I hope you reward yourself for all the amazing things you've achieved this week 🍅💐🥰❤
