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 @LostAngel @TAB @Shaz51 @pinklollipop15 @AussieRecharger @Anastasia @BPDSurvivor @frog @Former-Member @Daisydreamer @MDT @Snowie @Bunniekins and all forumites here. Well done on all of your achievements everyone!

Today my achievements have been as follows:

- I did some more knitting of both my Mental Health Recovery Blanket and a beanie for a PARCS worker

- I had a long hot shower and washed my hair which felt wonderful

- I picked up several Click and Collect parcels from Big W that needed to be collected

- I posted on both Facebook and here on the forums

- I listened to by body and chose to have a nap when my mind needed time out

- I didn't send my psychologist any nasty emails after he cancelled our appointment yesterday which is a massive achievement for my BPD mental health diagnosis despite wanting to.

Enjoy your achievements no matter how big or small they may be!

Re: Daily Achievements!

Hi @Judi9877 I love your lists! I read something this morning about giving yourself credit for the seemingly mundane as well as bigger things, because some days they can also really take it out of you...

So in that spirit, today so far my achievements are

  • shower
  • meditation
  • yoga
  • messaging 3 of my good friends

Hello @Bunniekins and @TAB how are you today?

Re: Daily Achievements!

I'm ok thanks @TAB hope you can sleep off some of the aches and pains.

I feel like my body is in a state of perpetual decline tbh. If it's not one thing it's another. Just have to keep plugging away and try to be as healthy as poss I spose.

Hope you pass the physical.

I'm going to get an early night. Work tomorrow. Sick of it, but it's a job so shouldn't complain. Take care.

Re: Daily Achievements!

I'm trying to Launch a Space Mission too @TAB @frog Yet all my Chronic health conditions & resulting ill health keep me stuck on the Ground.

No Blast Off - Except maybe small ones, with a bit of a fizz....

Got my Bird Cages all done today - Cleaned, restocked all Bird Seed & Water.

Missed my Fitness Class this morning (not happy about that).

Due to the exhausting flow-on effect of Pushing myself too hard - Through 12 hours of Online Traffic Management Inductions (Training Modules) last week.

I now have Another (New) Induction Module to do (Sprung on me Friday afternoon) - No energy or time to attempt that yet.

I could not Get Out to do any Grocery Shopping, either yesterday or today - So I had a Grocery Delivery, which covered some (not all) of it.

At least I'm not going to run out of food & essential stuff now....

Next week I'm Booked in to do the 3 day intensive Traffic Management Course (Mon, Tues, Wed).

The DES woman wants to Start me Working the Very Next Day (Thursday) after the Course finishes - I cannot physically handle that, I need a break.

So I need to find a way to somehow say No very Firmly to that - When she tries to schedule me to work straight away.

Otherwise we may well have a Physical Collapse or a Meltdown (mine) on our hands.

I don't want that, & it's not good for them either....
