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.

@Mustang67 You will get there, stay true to your vision and circumstances will begin to coalesce around your aspirations. You will find a way! I lost a 1/4 of my bodyweight over the past few years. I was on the Big 'O" medicine for mood disorders which is almost impossible to trim down on. You probably know the medicine I'm referring to.

@MJG017 I think you are right. I should obtain all the information possible and when I have it all in front of me, work out what is best for me and my mental health.

Re: Daily Achievements!

Hello all of you wonderful people.

Apologies for my 3 month absence. My ability to post/ read others struggles is very dependent on where I am mentally. I have been through and read a few of your posts tonight.

Everyone seems to be working very hard on their mental/physical health. You should all be very proud of your efforts and what you are achieving for yourselves.

You are such a wonderful, compassionate group of people and it does my spirits a world of good to read you all supporting each other.

Sorry for the soppy rant. I'm a bit emotional tonight and just wanted to express my gratitude to you all.

I hope you are all having a good/ manageable night.

Re: Daily Achievements!

What great day and we are only about halfway through:

✅ Centrelink payment approval (first time I’ve ever been able to get ‘government funding’)

✅ Made myself breakfast

✅ Remembered to brush my teeth, take my tablets and have my yakult

✅ Found an amazing new SHARE group (got to share & give feedback and I’ll be going back weekly)

✅ Hung out the washing

✅ Helped cheer a friend up so she could push through the rest of the work day

✅ Had a little nap

✅ Called my lived experience worker and organised our next meet

✅ Hung out the washing and did the ironing

✅ Washed the dishes

Now for some downtime and hoping to get to chat in the forums!

Sending positivity to everyone and remember, even getting out of bed is an achievement!

Thanks @Glisten !

Very productive day today which I’m proud of myself for!

Re: Daily Achievements!

No need to apologise @dehaha. I'm sure we all complete understand. I still have a lot of issues with just withdrawing from everything when I get really down. Even though I know I would find it helpful to reach out, sometimes I just feel like it's just too much for me at that time.

You should be proud of yourself as well for reaching out here again after 3 months. I sounds like it hasn't been a great time for you, so i'm sorry to hear that. I hope the fact you've posted here again means you're feeling a bit better. Take good care of yourself and always feel free to keep letting us know how you're going... good or bad.
