I'd like to start this post so that we can celebrate the things we did today. Whether big or small steps, they all need to be celebrated as working towards good mental health.
Lets not worry about the list we made and the things we didn't do.
Let's just focus on those things we did manage to do.
So today (Monday)
* I had a shower
* I washed my clothes
* hung my clothes up to dry
* cooked dinner
What did you do today?
Let's celebrate!

It sounds like a lot to me @frog .....
I didn’t feel tired after doing a lot of housework yesterday, but I do today, and have just realised that that is probably why ..... delayed reaction.

Haven't achieved much lately but thought I'd drop by and just add a few things from today, a day when I felt like sleeping all day or at least staying in my nightie and dressing gown:
and coming up very soon:
Good going to all who are getting some things done. When struggling with MI, it can be so hard to do anything at all. Each step is a celebration!
Edit: evening now and I'll add these things to the list of today's achievements:

Well done @BlueBay. A lot of things achieved yesterday. 
Today I:
* took my meds
* got my flu shot (finally)
* a new script for my anti depressants
* a load of washing
* have the dogs half a marrow bone each
* talked with my mum on the phone
* acknowledge that I'm feeling better and can tell my negative self talk to "p*** off" (& it works)
Hope others are kicking goals today.
It doesn't matter if it's simply changing your pyjamas, brushing your teeth or eating. Or if it's exercising, meditating, or working.
Every achievement is worth celebrating!!!
