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.

JudgeJudy my hair appointment is three weeks overdue, just can't be bothered with that now. Did shopping and banking and some RL interaction though. No need to do everything today x

Itisntreallyreal well done you! Some days/tasks are harder than others aren't they?

I didn't manage the supermarket in the end and will call into the bank when I go to work tomorrow but I did manage to go to the hairdressers (it had hit the overdue and not even funny anymore stage) which was a bit of a challenge as I hadn't been there before so didn't know how friendly they would be but they were lovely.

Wishing I wasn't going through a wobble stage but its easier this time around knowing I can get through this and knowing I'm not the only one - thanks guys.

Hello everyone and well done on all the positive things.

I had my performance management meeting today to set targets and was told how pleased they are with me. I actually believe them too! I've shushed the self doubt voice and listened.

Hello everyone, hope it's okay to join you?

Today I had a healthy dinner thanks to yellow label reductions in Tescos (I have been eating less fruit and veg because I can't afford it, which just makes me feel worse). And I feel really positive about a meeting I had today with some other women to discuss funding for the kindergarten my son attends.

I have had a rubbish day, no real sleep in 24 hours and it's Diwali tonight so my house sounds like it's being bombed.

However, I made party bags, dressed my Dd1 as a princess, took her to nursery and wrapped her presents. We had a birthday tea when she got home and she managed to blow out the three candles on her cake.

Let's keep this going

Well done everyone and lovelybrew I know what you mean about fruit and veg. I do usually get my five a day but I have to plan it very carefully.

My achievement today is just keeping going. It's not much but it's all I could manage.

Raft keeping going, pushing on is good. No one (outside) knows how hard it is to just keep going.

Positive vibes to everyone x

Thank you

I think any day you get out of bed and try the day is a positive day, because sometimes just doing that is the hardest thing in the world.

Today I paired up the odd sock bag. We actually have lots of pairs! I have been putting off sorting it out for longer than I care to mention. I've gotten by just doing what needs to be done so even just tackling this is a start.

Welcome summersover ;)

It's a little early to be positive yet, but I did get some sleep and the baby only woke up once during the night :)

I'm joining too. Have been trying to lie in, as have a very long day tomorrow and will have to be fully functioning late at night. A lie in on my own is usually a form of torture for me!

So my positive is that I haven't been giving myself a hard time for the lie in, and have dealt with all thoughts and images with care, putting them aside if they get too much, calming some, holding and embracing the positive ones (not as many) and I feel ready for the day now.

Morning!

Today I woke up before my alarm which I have been training myself to do for the last couple of weeks as going to bed late is not a good thing for me. Next thing is to get dressed at some point and get prescription from chemist before meds run out.

Welcome Aga, I have just been to the GP to book an appointment as I am out of some of my meds. I always leave it until the last minute. But I've done it, been procrastinating for four days so pleased that I've got up.

Well done at getting out of bed at a good hour and good luck at the Chemist, that is next on my list after GP.

Well I made it to the chemist and had a lovely chat with an elderly gentleman whilst we waited. I am also now onto my second load of washing which are the bath mats after reading another post yesterday. Also managed to wash up all the bits and bobs left on the side that don't go in the dish washer.

I have also started reading my book !!! As DD and DS are hogging computer and ipad. I am only managing to write this whilst they are finishing lunch. Oh and they've finished, that's me gone. Back to reading my book. Will she open this infernal letter she found in the loft or not !!!

What a lovely idea for a thread, I hope you don't mind me joining in?

When going out on the walk with the dog and kids today I actually remembered to pack the bubbles and dog treats. So whilst sitting on the bench at the park DD was blowing bubbles whilst the dog was happily catching them. I love feeling like getting it right by everyone.

Managed GP, chemist and therapy session. 7th CBT session, not really getting on with counsellor.

Have had an urgent referral to consultant psychiatrist again, so positives overall. Even though I know they are going to mess with my meds (mood stabiliser) again. This time I'm ready for it.

Had a nice phone chat with a friend this afternoon and Pizzahut for tea

Thank you Aga, I had completely forgotton that I should have collected my prescription, and reading your post earlier reminded me to get it and fetch my medicine. :)

Everyone is welcomed, no need to ask :)

Positive for me is that i asserted myself today.

WELL DONE EVERYONE.

Proud mummy alert. Sat down with my just turned three year old and taught her how to add and subtract in 15 minutes. She can do any sum using blocks between one and ten, I was amazed! She didn't get the concept of zero though. I gave her a packet of milky bar buttons which she melted on her hands and rubbed into her jumper, so not quite a child genius yet

Hello

Had a long frustrating journey and managed to stay calm.

Well done Raft, I did four miles in 45 mins yesterday on the North Circular and used breathing techniques rather than beeping the horn and banging my hands on the steering wheel in frustration. It felt kind of good, like I was in control. Nice one
