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!

Well I had a very good day today. Spent a nice sunny day down in the parklands near the Festival Theatre on the Torrens river. I then got interviewed during the evening Ch10 weather cross. The weather presenter was so nice and helpful ans made it a lot easier. Standing there next to her waiting for the time to step in to frame and be on TV... I just got more and more nervous as the seconds ticked down. But a lot of fun to do. Only a couple of quick questions but another thing to add to my list of things I've done that I never thought I'd do. Plus it all helped to raise awareness for the PCFA and prostate cancer so not only a great day, but some good work done as well.

Good evening @MJG017 @TAB @Ru-bee @Alex9 @Macqua @Shaz51 @tyme @Former-Member @Lauz and all forumites here tonight. Well done on your achievements everyone!

@Alex9 great job on going to uni! I used to struggle on a Monday to go to my Tafe classes and I had to get my housemate to help motivate me which she was able to do as she knew how much I enjoyed the classes once I was there. I’m so glad you went and I hope you enjoyed yourself.

Today I achieved the following things:

- Had a shower

- Took meds

- Worked on 2 knitting projects

- Distracted myself when I got some weird/ potentially stressful news

- Watched the 6pm news on tv

- Packed my suitcase for my cruise holiday next week

Take care!
