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.

Hi @frog , thanks very much for telling me about this thread 😊

Goodness me, I had the worst sleep last night. I tossed and turned all night and by the time I got out of bed, at about 1.30pm, I was exhausted.

Today was the kind of day that you need lots of cups of tea to get through.

Things I achieved today...

I had a phone appointment with my therapist. We talked about my recent experience with my local Catholic church and me applying for the NDIS. It was very helpful.

I took the clothes off the line.

I took my Pug for a walk in the sunshine.

I changed the light globe in my bedroom, which I have been meaning to do for ages.

I ate healthy food all day.

I took my vitamins and antidepressants.

I wrote down a timeline of my experiences with mental health professionals and services and emailed it to my therapist (who is helping me apply for the NDIS).

I had my yummy tuna and mushroom pasta bake for dinner.

I had a shower and washed my hair with my salon quality shampoo and conditioner.

I cleaned my teeth.

I did my affirmations in the mirror.

I stayed out of bed all day.

I didn't open or read any emails (I don't feel ready to do that yet).

I think that's about it for today.

Hello @HenryX

I made my frittata and it was very yummy. I'm always amazed at what I can make when I think I don't have any food in the house.
