Post your accomplishments for the day here

Getting 8 hours (wow!) of sleep and getting through a med pick up ***********.

I talked things out with my sister ... took a walk with the hubby ... and made cute "This Book Belongs To" labels for my son's growing library.

I am feeling much better today.

Standing up for my nephews who have been victims of abuse as I was. Helping my sister, their mom. And knowing that, if needed, I will call CPS on my sister so as to protect those boys. I will NOT let the cycle continue.

I paid off my high interest credit card...I have been working on it for 4 years. Yah! I still have another one, a low interest one that I am working on but it won't be much longer on it.

YAY!!! Indeed, that's a huge accomplishment!

I did, coffee, and nothing else yet. I semi got dressed

I cleaned a couple rooms in my house. Maybe not a great job but it looks a lot better

Made a trip out of the house to Petsmart. My little blind terrier really needs to be socialized again. Didn't want to wash my face and put on makeup ... so I didn't! Just put on a hat and went. If it's too hard, break it down into smaller tasks. If it's stlll too hard, break it down again.

Found out I'd dropped another dress size(had put on a lot of weight when I was first put on lithium)delighted!!!brought my cat to the vet-found out she was a he!!!made dessert and iced tea for family.de-cluttered attic.

(Heehee, Nahla66! We had a cat long ago we brought in to be neutered... they said, "Um, he already is!" Lol.)

Ehhh, made it out of the apartment to go to support group. (Drove away, drove back, but then made myself go, so that counts for something!)

Started Depakote. I'm RAVENOUS. Cold gray looks delicious. The med is really helping psych-wise and I want to make it work. But I lost 50 pounds over the last year and I do NOT want to gain it back!

Today I made it through the day within my calorie limit by eating small amounts every two hours. Big victory!

Beauty From Despair, Good work!!

I planted some plants, bought some plants, started cleaning my house, and organizing some rooms, Went to lunch with my bf. Felt extremely guilty after eating. Had a melt down in the restaurant ( AWESOME). Feeling pretty down, zyprexa made me gain 5 lbs, the seroquel before that another 5 so I'm pretty depressed, my ed is coming into swing, but I have been binging wtf??

I'll spend the rest of the night deciding to actually take my meds or not

got rego for the car and went for a walk, did groceries...

I share your phone phobia and have a job that has me on the phone a good part of the day. At work I will take a ten minute walk to talk to someone in the plant face to face rather than use the phone.

My girl friend gets angry with me because I will not talk to her on the phone. I also prefer text. I have no idea why I struggle with the phone so much, but I wasn't always this way.

it was a struggle to get dressed this morning... have tidied a bit and made eggs for lunch. It's nasty weather and I just want to go back to bed

Got my scanner straightened out, also my computer and after 2 hours of that I went and got another cell phone, easy to learn as it is a plain Jane. Took loads of stuff to our new duplex and stashed some more in the storage shed.

Got a concussion this morning, wet feet , shower , laminate floors, stairs, dent in drywall from head. Now I'm not supposed to sleep, but I didn't sleep last night either. Am feeling rather manic still, tangled web we weave. Long day.

(((Anika))) an accident like that when you're already feeling bad is such a bummer. Sending hugs and a cup of hot tea.

Adjusting to new med. My brain feels slow and different. Got a rush job to write some copy (text) for a marketing brochure. Was afraid I couldn't do it with my new brain. Did not feel creative at all. Took a nap. Dozing in and out, the idea came to me and I got the writing done! Yay! Maybe I can still be creative without mania.

Anika!! I hope you're ok!!

Dusted all the ceiling fans, tops of doors, windows and picture frames. Vacuumed. Finished my book. Cooked an actual dinner for myself. Boring!!

Caught up on a week's worth of laundry. Never underestimate the power of clean socks!

So far....and the day has just started I feel great!!

I've fed my kids breakfast...they are watching a movie happily....and I'm half way through folding 4 baskets of laundry. Must make phone calls today, go to the grocery store, and pick up my vacuum from the fix it shop. We'll see how that pans out!!

Sending out good vibes today!! xoxo

Today I helped my dad move things from his teaching place to our house. My brother was there with me and my dad said thank you to me too.

Today I went out of town and worked then our house closed so we signed papers and I went back to tidy up. It is so sad to leave a home we lived in for 15 years. I did OK with it though. Went home and tidied up there too. Dishes washing right now.

Today I didn't give in to the life ending urges I carry.

^ My achievement is small potatoes compared to yours - I know only too well how that feels, and I'm glad you were able to make it through the day when you're that down. I hope you're feeling at least a little better tomorrow. I know it never feels like it when you're in that space, but it takes a lot of courage to make it through the day and not give in and give up. One day at a time.

Not sure how much of an "accomplishment" my own day is, but after devoting all of my free time to it today, I finally pinned down the technical culprit that was giving me a headache on, ironically, my blog about migraine headaches. The only upshot is that its only a headache for me.

I put the accomplishment in quotations because all I managed to achieve was to isolate the problem and come up with a fix, which I ran out of steam before I could implement. Which is nagging at me because until the fix is there, it doesn't feel like much of an achievement.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll have the fix in place, and then I'll feel some satisfaction and sense of achievement. Right now I just feel tired and drawn out. And there's other stuff going on to (but isn't there always?) that I'm not even thinking about. That stuff is bigger fish to fry, and not really anything I can relate accomplishment toward right now.
