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

It was my pleasure and you’re so welcome

I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult it must be for you to face another day I think that it takes an enormous amount of courage to do this and what you’ve managed to achieve today is absolutely amazing!

Thank you so much for your kind words - I really do believe that this is just so important, although it’s often so much easier said than done

I also believe that living with mental health issues (and I would imagine caring for a loved one who lives with mental health issues) takes an enormous amount of courage and energy and a whole range of inner resources that would absolutely amaze some people and take them completely by surprise!

Please know that I’m thinking of you at this really difficult time and sending you some gentle hugs

Take care,

ShiningStar

Re: Daily Achievements!

Today I am trying to continue with the sorting of photos. Deciding what to keep and print and what to delete is truly overwhelming.


Eating too much today, had a glass of wine for first time in a while.

Over the last couple of years I have been slowly working from one room to the next around the house. I feel like possessions are tying me down. When I get through this paperwork etc next then my clothes. It Is taking me a long time as MI gets in the way.

Now we have been told we are in lock down 🥺😢

Hi @Former-Member @ShiningStar @Former-Member @BPDSurvivor @Last-Lament @LostAngel @frog @Shaz51 @saltandpepper @Emelia8 @roses and all forumites here. Well done everyone on today's achievements!

@Former-Member I read that you are going into lockdown again- obviously in Perth somewhere- so please take it easy. Just getting through each hour of the day will be a great achievement so just remember that. I struggled for 17 weeks in Melbourne with a night curfew to boot but in the end, I was just to get through each day as it meant that I was closer to some sort of freedom again. Stay strong forumite🥰

My achievements for today have been-

- Starting on knitting a beanie for charity in some yarn I found buried in my room

- Going to the library to a special session on essential oils

- Buying both a jar of coffee and some cat food after forgetting them in my shopping list yesterday. This girl cannot live without coffee and I can't afford to have a hungry cat!

Re: Daily Achievements!

So right @Judi9877 we need our coffee.

yes I live in Perth. Just sad for my grandkids you were looking forward to going away camping. I don't know how you managed 17 weeks. I don't like feeling trapped.

Re: Daily Achievements!

Hi @Judi9877

I never get tired of reading about everyone’s achievements

I noticed that you’re knitting a beanie which sounds perfect for the cooler weather I love glitter and sparkles and so I’m always on the lookout for a cute little beanie or scarf that matches this description!

Thank you so much again for starting this thread! It’s just such a great way for us to celebrate each other

Take care of yourself,

ShiningStar
