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!

@TAB not good that you have a swollen foot. Have you had it checked out?

I feel you re tooth pain. Hopefully it will pass quickly.

Well done on the walk, I'm feeling very unmotivated at the moment and watching TV. I do plan to make a batch of sandwiches later though.

Re: Daily Achievements!

I imagine its gout or heart or both @ENKELI its very painful to touch. was told years ago had gout,was refused medication , think they were christian or something, told me to take otc pain meds. if heart its usually both feet and not sore. 6 week wait to see dr here. hadnt occcured to me to go somewhere else for dr

Re: Daily Achievements!

@TAB not sure why being a Christian would make a difference. As a Christian I've been to a Christian doctor and the treatment was no different to my current non-Christian GP.

If it's gout then the fix is anti inflammatory medication and dietary change. My ex had gout, he changed his diet and decreased the amount he drank and it helped. The only thing his doctor gave him was Advil.

Hopefully you can get relief from it x

Re: Daily Achievements!

sorry for generic term @ENKELI yes there are medications specifically for gout. this happens like once a year to me and not this bad and was after not drinking for few days

Re: Daily Achievements!

@TAB thanks Tabby. I get derogatory comments about being a Christian all the time, if I was certain other religions I'd be treated with kid gloves...

I certainly hope you can get a resolution for the pain, there is nothing worse. I take it you don't have a local GP you can see, which sucks brass ones. I'd send you some strong pain meds if I could.

Look after yourself, you did awesome going for a walk with a painful foot x

Re: Daily Achievements!

@Glisten you are SO in trouble! I started back on S2 of Umbrella Academy. Aside from making 2 loaves of bread worth of sandwiches, I have done nothing today!
I will have to punish you with apple cinnamon muffins and mocha!

In response to: Re: Daily Achievements!

Re: Daily Achievements!

ah, guess what, you didnt get a derogatory comment about being christian @ENKELI said nothing at all about you.

Was talking about sanctimonius barely qualified holier that thou para medicals usually who do things like refuse meds, refuse to fill scripts and think I then need to be lectured on the subject. Sorry for my assumptions about any religion they may falsely follow. that is Not christian behaviour, telling people off and denying medication.
