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.

Re: Daily Achievements!

I took my Pug for a walk in the sunshine*.

I picked up my medications from the chemist.

I started taking my antibiotics for my abscessed tooth.

I walked to the supermarket and back.

I did some shopping (just a few things).

I took my vitamins and antidepressants.

I met my fluid intake for the day.

I did my affirmation in the mirror.

I spoke to my therapist on the phone but the reception was bad and I couldn't hear her properly. It made me feel depressed.

My therapist said she wants me to start challenging myself. She asked me to write up a plan of what I'm going to do during the day. I'm not looking forward to it but I agreed to do it.

I ate a packet of corn chips for dinner, which isn't ideal but I couldn't be bothered cooking.

"I love and accept myself exactly as I am."

*How is Vitamin D absorbed into your skin when you are fully covered in winter clothes? I was wondering this today.

Re: Daily Achievements!

😸 @Arizona think you get less vit D with more clothes

Re: Daily Achievements!

Hi @TAB

I'm still up but just about to crash.

I was just curious because everyone always goes on about how you need to get out in the sunshine to get some Vitamin D.

I'm taking a Vitamin D supplement anyway.

Re: Daily Achievements!
