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 done for your resourcefulness and resilience @Judi9877 . I trust you settle quickly and are very happy in your new home.

I'm sorry to hear how difficult it was for you losing Mitz but you put in every effort to help her.

Good evening @Dimity @dehaha @TAB @rav3n @Glisten @Shaz51 @tyme @Mustang67 @Bunniekins @Faith-and-Hope @Appleblossom @Snowie @Oaktree and all forumites here tonight. Well done on all of your achievements!

@Dimity thanks for your pleasant response. Very much appreciated!

Today has been a mix of anxiety, stress, productivity and trying to be helpful and resourceful for my current living situation- trying to pack up my room and being worried and stressed out about the VCAT hearing tomorrow morning that my wonderful housemate and her team of lawyers are going to deal with. The only good news is we at least have a property to move into on 7/12/2024 (Saturday) and we don’t have to face homelessness for at least 9 months. Suffice to say, I have managed to achieve the following things today:

- Packed up most of my bedroom

- Ate dinner

- Had a shower

- Finished off the back of a kids knitted jumper for charity and started the front section of the jumper

- Watched the 6pm news

- Watched some of the Perth cricket test match and then the WBBL cricket match with the Sydney Sixes being defeated by the Brisbane Heat.

- Spoke to my sister on the phone

- Counted my money box and got the money ready for my sister to take to the bank tomorrow for me

- Checked the itinerary of my cruise ship holiday I’m going on in June next year to the Great Barrier Reef and to Port Douglas via Sydney

- Found several books/novels I had misplaced in my bedroom which I’m now planning on reading when I get to my new house.

That’s all from me tonight.

Take care and stay safe!

Re: Daily Achievements!

Hi everyone. 👋

Today I have felt able to engage in the forums. I have also been able to make contact with a group who do short term peer support for Mental health. The Accute Care team referred me to them about 3 weeks ago, but as I struggle with making calls, it's taken me until today to call them. So happy with myself for getting that done and looking forward to any support they can offer.

Really hoping you are all having a manageable day 🙂
