Just One Thing (18 August 2016)

It's challenge time!

Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.

Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished!

Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

Go!

Made 3 appts with my psychologist.

Talked to a telephone psychologist at a service for people who are carers for someone with Depression about JUST HOW HARD my SO's Depression is on me sometimes.

Told SO about some things he does that annoy/anger me, and asked if it was ok for him to try to stop doing those things.

Told SO that his angry/sarcastic/bitter/grumpy comments about things in the world over the past 2-3 weeks were starting to wear me down and make me not enjoy his company as much, and were actually starting to make me feel genuinely Depressed myself, so if he could try to do that less, that would be great.

ETA: Took the recyling out and in the process realized that there was some blue sky and sunshine, decided to go to the local shops to see if sunshine helped my mood.

Went to the Post Office and got my mail, posted a cheque off, deposited $$$ to credit card.

Went to the newsagent and bought some notepads.

Resisted the urge to buy either hot chips or potato chips even though I REALLY REALLY wanted to, because I knew they'd make me tired and therefore grumpy/down tomorrow.

Well done on the self-care, all the practical tasks, and dealing with the difficult communication stuff with SO. \o/

not only opened and read through the urgent!!! documents, but addressed most of the issues in the first one, and was pleasantly surprised at the amount of work that I did last time I looked at this. I have a realistic expectation of sending both documents to the boss tomorrow, assuming no students requiring assistance [there are 2 phd students at the pointy end of their respective PhDs that i might hear from, and one RA at the pointy end of writing a paper draft]

Excellent work progress! Congratulations. (And fingers crossed for students at pointy ends of monumental milestones.)

I made it through another session, and then talked with people about how I felt about it.

Well done for carrying on with sessions and for working through your reactions to it with sympathetic ears.
