manja. Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I think we should each find a reason to say well done to ourselves each day, and that if we can't find a reason, then that's a reason for us to do something warranting saying well done :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BimoUK Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Today I am proud of myself for admitting to my boss a mistake that I made at work that's going to cost money to rectify instead of just hiding from it and hoping it will go away. I didn't even get a bollocking for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manja. Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 well done me. I just filled the sink full of hot soapy water, put some of the piles of dishes in it, cleared down the worktop. it's a good start. I want to get lots more done. That in itself feels like a massive deal, but I'm going to keep going and get lots more done, so well done me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrippleAndStarfish Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 WTG manja hun, you're doing well! Everyone is doing well, actually! Reading this really is making me smile. xxxxx Well done me. I managed to get Lucy to the vets and back and kept my anx under control the entire time, and didn't fall apart once i got home either! Instead, had a cuppa, fantasised a little about how great a cig would be round about now (i've quit, but i still crave and at certain moments my mind is pulled straight back to smoking - esp if am stressed/anx), fed the cats and then nipped into town! I've also baked cakes today for my mum, and am going to do a chicken casserole for dinner too - actually cooking properly. Well done me indeed! xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 well done me.... i haven't tidied the flat, i am all over the place. i haven't showered. i'm disgusting. i am a mess. bt well done me for deciding to try to tackle it all. deciding is a big deal in itself. and i will try. and well done me for having a depression charity notice what i'm trying to do, and ask me if i would like to help out on their facebook page and forum. this is a big deal, and hopefully willl help me too.

manja. Posted February 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Thanks Emma. I agree. As you know, helping people is a big thing for me, but it's hard for me to find motivation for anything else lately That job I applied for in early January - they contacted me a couple of weeks ago to say that they didn't get enough applicants to go to interview stage, and had re-advertised with yesterday as a new deadline date, that they will still consider my application and that they will contact me then. I think this is a good thing for me cos it probably increases my chances, cos it's a fairly specialised job which I think I'm well experienced for. But I also looked and they haven't advertised very much, with the new deadline of yesterday, (I coudln't find any ads online for it at all), So long story short, I am really looking forward to seeing how that goes but..... I can't find any motivation for hoursework etc etc so this weekend I am going to try to use that as a means to try to make me do it... a kind of 'well, you might be moving if you get he job, so do the housework' thing. So not much to say 'well done' for just yet, but hopefully soon x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrippleAndStarfish Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Well done me, for getting the floors hoovered and all the rubbish out, the kitchen cleaned and although the pots aren't washed yet, they're rinsed and put to one side ready to be. It'll only take me ten mins, but i'm very achey today so have to do things a tiny bit at a time and rest up plenty. Also, well done me for allowing myself the time to rest, and trying my best to be patient with myself rather than cursing myself and calling myself stupid and broken and other not-nice names when my body cramps/spasms and prevents me from doing something. I think i'm slowly, slowly, very slowly, starting to accept my CFS and the impact it has on my life, and I'm allowing myself to be sad over it too without thinking of myself as being pathetic. Lots of changes, big changes, are needed if i'm to be okay, but, I feel quietly confident that i will get there in time. xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
