Anything you have felt positive about, no matter how small and petty it may seem please share. Even if it's managing to get the motivation to have a wash

I will start.

Today I have cleaned my kitchen, I know it's a basic thing but finally I can see the work tops and floor.

Ok.

I got out for a walk today round the park and only needed to stop to rest once.

Well done :)

I drove into the city centre, attended a meeting and drove home. I didn't cry and only had a minor moment.

Well done Raft and Piper

Congratulations MrsMinton.

I feel like this forum should have 1 positive thing, something for people to aspire to write on.

Thank you. I think your idea is a great one.

Hi

I think this is a lovely idea too. Today has been hard so it is nice to try and think of something positive.

I caught up with my friend for a meal. It was so lovely to see her. I felt a bit panicky afterwards but didn't actually have a panic attack.

Glad you had a nice meal Raft and the panic attack stayed away.

I've felt tired and low today but my two DS got their certificates for completing a reading challenge so we went and watched. H and I held hands and watched them. It was lovely for an hour.

Well done both of you.

Thank you.

I manage to go to work today :) did feel a bit low but survived it.

Well done Piper

I went to a singing group today. I was v nervous but I enjoyed it and glad I challenged myself.

Piper I'm so pleased the first day is out the way.
Raft that sounds fantastic well done.

I made a difficult phone call. I feel better now it's done.

Amazing to hear.

I had a really nice sandwich for lunch... after feeling grotty for a couple of days I enjoyed it so much! Small things...

After worrying about my hubby going to Holland on a course for a week I'm coping better than I thought I would being on my own with my son who has adhd and aspergers ??

Commuter brilliant

Magicgirl I'm so pleased it's going better than you expected. I hope the rest of the week is as positive for you.

My positive for the day: I got everything organised tonight ready for school and work tomorrow so the morning will be calmer.

Well done everyone

I got a couple of birthday cards today. From the charity shop too so quite cheap.

I am being discharged to OP tomorrow (assuming I behave tonight, which I most definitely, positively will), did my online shop. Can't wait to cook my own food :)

That's great Raft, I love charity shops

ReallyReal, what a lovely thing to look forward to. Have you ordered something nice to cook?

My positive is I watched my DS running about and didn't feel the rising panic that he might get hurt. still felt uncomfortable but not anxious.

Glad people on this thread are doing and thinking positive.

I know this sounds really petty, but today I loved worked.

I like that Piper.
I love work. It gives me structure and makes me feel I'm not useless!

I like working. I don't do paid work (for various reasons. Hope to one day) but I volunteer and it makes such a difference to me.

Today I managed to buy some good quality and cheap wine as presents for friends.

How is everyone today?

I have made my children homemade chicken soup and bread for their afternoon snack. They are now playing with a huge amazon box which held a tiny item (typical). We are making a castle out of it. TBH I am bloody knackered but am keeping on trying to see the good

How are you all doing?

Sounds a good day Raft.

You've had a great afternoon Reallyreal well done

I've tidied up and gotten some little jobs done that I had been putting off. Like pairing all the socks and finding winter hats ready. Nothing much but I feel happier for doing it.
