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!

I think I was being hard on myself (in my last post). Of course I have achieved some things.

I had some risotto with tuna and lemon for dinner.

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

I cleaned my teeth.

I blow dried my hair with my ionic and ceramic hair dryer.

I flushed my sinuses out with warm salt water.

I gargled with warm salt water. My sinuses are no longer blocked but my ear and throat are still sore.

I cancelled my appointment with the doctor today because I was too tired but I will make another appointment online after I have finished writing this.

I took my vitamins and antidepressants.

I cancelled my membership with a mental health organisation after having several bad experiences with them.

I watched some nice videos about Pugs on YouTube.

I put on a load of washing. I have two more to go.

Re: Daily Achievements!

@TAB You can always catch up coursework and reschedule your appointments. My roof restoration starts today and should be finished by next week. I'm staying at home because we are in the lockdown , I only went out yesterday for exercise and essentials. I just changed sheets on my bed and waiting for the washing to finish and will go hang it out. I will probably go for a walk after 2pm. My mums birthday today, I can't see her but will call her.

Re: Daily Achievements!

the only appointment I cancelled was GP as couldnt think why I had made it, well have to book so far in advance, I guess sorta book just in case lol @oceangirl thats a not good re mothers birthday. the other 2 one day courses are separate and from each other; my only motivation for doing them was cheap price and that might need them for work one day. Can always do it again. Was just a bit shocked that I blew it off, guess no rules, no routine here atm. hope lockdown doesnt last much longer. I saw specialist yest and they said I could get vaccinated, booked it not realising people making money out of it, charging $60 to get it, so brother found wa govt site and now getting it for free, but have to wait a few weeks, so hopefully theres some left after all the rich people get some lol

Will go for walk later. Was around zero deg here this morning so have got a bit wussy about pre dawn walks. All in the mind anyway. should do it anyway. Enjoy the rest of your day

Re: Daily Achievements!

@TAB Better to have an appointment and if you don't need it you can cancel it. Probably better to get the course over and done with and that way you don't have to pay again. I got my COVID vaccine through QLD health, it was free too. But they should be all free does not matter were you get the vaccine. It was on the news and current affair about Drs in Sydney charging consultation fees before getting the vaccine. It must be occurring in various locations then if its happening in your local area. I am glad they have been pulled up on it and the people should be reimbursed the fees.

Its not good about my mum's birthday but I understand its best that we are in lockdown atm and we can celebrate my mum's birthday soon. I have not long got off the phone to my mum but will call her again after dinner. I'm a bit wussy with the cold weather too and don't like going for walks in the morning. I am thinking of going for a bike ride tomorrow morning, it should be fun. Anyways talk to you soon...

Re: Daily Achievements!

yeah I got a txt from private clinic who were doing free covid testing @oceangirl about immunisation, there were disclaimers and was pointed out they dont charge for vaccine, with Free in big letters but rang them recently aobut changing drs and they charge 60 dollars ontop of medicare for 15min consult so guess similar for vaccine.

Um finally got email back from admin about course, they just asked if wanted to do it in a couple weeks time so guess am committed now, so guess better go do the other one tomorrow else just messing people around. I get to get out of house anyway and meet people .. need to get over myself lol

um the walks in cold are okay its just if wet or windy I wear thongs in like 2 degrees doesnt bother me, so long as am moving ok and jacket, hat etc lol
