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!

oh @Former-Member sorry to hear that you are in Lockdown but well done on your acheivements regarding sorting your home room by room you sound like your doing the best you can to get through so a glass or yum food is a nice reward for yourself ,I really need to start decluttering at least the bedrooms in my house but that still hasnt been done as yet hmmm maybe a future goal to work on anyway just saying Im thinking of you,it isnt easy to get things done around the house sometimes and I find that family or people we know sometimes cant understand why we dont declutter in say what they think is a normal timeframe to clean but well done to you and take care during lockdown

Re: Daily Achievements!

Dropping by to say this thread is so inspiring. It's so great to see everyone recognising that even small steps are HUGE and deserve to be celebrated! I look forward to reading more of these 💙

Re: Daily Achievements!

Hi @Former-Member ! Thanks for the wonderful comments about the thread. It's nice to get recognised so thank you for that. I started this thread as I find it different from a gratitude diary type thing and as I said earlier, I have depression and find it hard to look on the bright side of life at times, so hence, the start of this thread! Feel free to join in on the achievements!
