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.

Ahh I'm well practiced.. kind of a professional student. I have had breaks but pretty much haven't stopped since I left school at 17 so 17 years ahahaha and have worked here and there but never full time. I'm quite excited.. as I enrolled start of last year but was bad timing then covid hit so glad I did withdraw.. anyway onwards and upwards as they say!
What have you studied?

Hi @pinklollipop15

Just wanted to stop by and say congrats on embarking on your studies! Textbooks can be so expensive, but I also find it's quite exciting to order them as I get the new study adventure feels, if you know what I mean?

Sounds like you have a great day planned and I hope Elton kickstarted your day nicely

Cheers

I been on both sides of the student teacher thingummy for so long ....am going gaga about grammar! lol ...

I gave my own study a rest for a while. No formal study since 2011, but heaps online courses since, as it really is my default mode.

Guess what... after my decade off ... I enrolled in a new course yesterday and starting Monday. Hooray. Love the idea it is local 5 min car ride and walkable if car breaks down and only one day per week. Actually the clincher in the deal was that they also offered me a job. Will see what happens. It might mean I spend less time on forum, but will still think, of you all.

Re: Daily Achievements!

Good evening forumites! Congratulations on all of your achievements everyone!

@TAB well done on the job!

@pinklollipop15 great work getting into uni! I'm part way through my uni subject for this period and although I'm enjoying psychology, I've had trouble with motivation. Oh, and the fact that my textbook still hasn't shown up due to mail delays here in Melbourne and I'm reliant on getting the book as an ebook through the library with limited copies available as well which makes it even harder to study!

Today my achievements have been:

- finally getting out of bed late morning

- doing a draft of my uni assessment

- completing a beanie for charity and starting another one

- having tuna and brown rice for dinner

- worked on my Mental Health Recovery Blanket
