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 @Judi9877

Sounds great a lot of variety in your day 🙂

Today I had breakfast, did the housework, walked to the beach, talked to some family, helped a family member remain calm, helped a family member through their anger, took a family member to see their friends, watched a movie (now watching another one), made a lamington cake (so good!), cooked dinner.

Re: Daily Achievements!

Good evening forumites! Well done on all of your achievements!
@TAB Add me to your road trip alongside @BPDSurvivor! I need a road trip outside metropolitan Melbourne and can't wait to see at least some sections of regional Victoria for once, including places like Bendigo where a close male friend of mine lives and whom I haven't seen physically in 2 years before COVID-19 started! Phone texts just don't work for me when a hug is needed so much more!

@pinklollipop15 the beach walk sounds lovely! I love being near the beach on cold days watching the waves crash against the sand and rocks and piers as it's so moving yet very emotional and enjoyable as well. I'm glad you had fun!

@LostAngel wow! Talk about a busy day! Good on you for achieving so many things!


For me, my achievements have been:

- Had my psychologist appointment today over the phone

- Learnt about myself in regards to making me responsible for my own happiness instead of relying on others to make me happy;

- completed another partial section of my Mental Health Recovery Blanket

- Checked out Facebook

- Listened to some music from Bon Jovi, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, The Corrs and Delta Goodrem on MH iPhone to help with my mood situation which really worked

- Watched the 6pm news to see how Melbourne celebrated the first night of no lockdown (parties, wild scenes in Chapel St, etc)

- Stayed home again

Keep those achievements coming!

Re: Daily Achievements!

Today I slept in as planned
I did not go on the hike as I thought I would as I was not in the headspace to meet new people and talking about myself would make me feel gross

I instead stayed home
I went to get a coffee and some pastries from a bakery to share
I also fixed up some wood for my bedframe and hopefully it shall support it
Also some wood for some shelves, so had to charge drill
Completed some of a uni application but will need to call them first thing tomorrow morning to confirm some more details.
Hopefully they can give me answer before the 31st
