Small achievement you managed to do today....How did it make you feel? Did it help you feel better today?

[Ggrand]

Hi everyone..

Their are days when just getting out of bed is a huge achievement...Other days we can achieve things like washing up the dishes or clothes, sweeping the floors, mopping the floors..very mundane and automatic robot like chores for the mentally well...They do these chores without even thinking about them...for people struggling with their mental health..these are huge tasks...

Very often I’ll get my vacuum cleaner out to vacuum ...then it will sit their for days, me looking at it, walking over it...until I can get motivated enough to vacuum..after I do find the motivation to vacuum...I am pleased with myself...
Right now I have a small foot cycling peddle machine, sitting on my front veranda..I got it out last week..to start exercising..it’s still their, I’m still looking at it...My thoughts each night is I’ll use it for a few minutes tomorrow..

My car hasn’t been washed getting close to a year now I think...Today I did managed to wash it....and discovered that it has a nice shine on it.....I did it...I achieved something positive today..which made me feel better in myself...

Have you achieved a little something today...and how did it make you feel...If you want to share that achievement it might make other people a bit more motivated to achieve something they need/want to do..

Looking forward to hearing about your achievement....and how it made you feel..

Little steps and achievements can lead to bigger steps..and bigger achievements...

My kindest and most caring thoughts...everyone.

I gave some books away to neighbours. Feel good.

A little thing. I have lots of things to sort iñ garage and it can be too much so am trying to do something small each day.

That is the plan .

so nice quirky to give someone something generously. its meaningful to receive a book from someone, and usually the memory of the gift infuses the book.

i have a book given to me by an ex partners mom, still sitting on my shelf ten years later. it was a kind gift then and now.

Hello Everyone....

Quirky that was such a beautiful jester from you to do that...

Today I cleaned out my fridge...washed all the shelves the crisper draw and the walls...now it looks clean and hygienic.....

today i admitted to myself that I was not doing well and have been socially isolating myself (haha). I reached out to a couple of friends but i still feel empty inside.

I feel happy for the first time in years because I contacted 1800Respect tonight and although I won't go into details for fear of triggering anyone and I am so sorry if I ever have. That is never my attention. I told them that I am ready to leave my abusive husband and that I need their help in working out a plan. Just even saying those words made me cry, quietly of course in case he heard me.

I have finally decided that due to my cancer diagnosis I need to put me and my health first. The fact that I am not allowed to attend the medical appointments and have the scans that I need to because of him is the main reason to leave.

I have been told that it is a slow process to leave which could take months but the fact that I will eventually be free and safe is worth waiting for. I hope that everyone is going ok in their lives. I am thinking of you all and wishing you well.

Regards,

Emo.

Oh emo, you have made me cry. Your so brave and strong. I really do look up to you. I wish you the very best on moving forward. Xx

Hi Harpbird,

You are so kind, your kind and caring words made me cry because those are the kind of words that I would give anything to hear from my mother. Your family are so lucky to have you. It will be a long road to get to freedom but I finally feel like I have true hope of getting there. I know I need to help myself and not rely on others but words of encouragement never hurt. I will keep everyone updated on my progress if anyone cares. Thank you.

Regards,

Emo.

Congratulations Emo on your decision. I was in a similar situation ie my ex-husband wouldn’t even believe I was unwell, let alone allow me to seek treatment. I did what you plan to do - left him. That was almost 40 years ago now, so long ago I forget about it. I finished raising my children & then met a lovely man who has been my husband for 25 years now.

So I wish you all the best & would love to hear how things go for you, T.

Hello Everyone.....🤗.

On Tuesday I got my Astra Jab....after backing down a few times through fear of the side effects...but I got sick of me constantly battling my mind on whether or not to get it...So I took the “plunge”...which was good I think....now my mind is constantly scanning my body for unusual aches n pains...Doesn’t matter what I do..my mind always finds something to keep itself busy...the wrong way..

Well done to everyone, your achievements are astronomical...Very proud of you Emo....

Grandy..
