Re: April achievements, with a theme of self-care!
Well one thing for definite was I wanted to cook more and overall be a bit more healthy so I'm definitely proud of that, I got in the process of ordering takeaways for easy of access but I've been making more things like tacos and katsu curry and and proper ramen are among my faves
Plus I'm getting in my huel daily greens and vitamins which is a feel good boost!
I've kept up the routine of going out every day from last month which is a big positive as I can struggle to keep routines going.
I've been doing my DBT therapy a few evenings a week too, and keeping up with my self care such as taking nice baths, doing my skincare, and meditation etc which I always love doing

Re: April achievements, with a theme of self-care!
This month I got started on my revision for my exam, asked for help when I was struggling, distanced myself from people that were negatively impacting me, and overall started to focus more on myself and what I need
April achievements, with a theme of self-care!
Hello everyone, hope you’ve been alright and that you've had a great April!
April has been a challenging month for me, and it may be the same for some. So I’m here again with the achievements thread, in hopes that it can help others feel better about themselves. What have you achieved this month? And as always, these can take any shape and form.
Feel free to write as many achievements as you wish! 😊
My achievements this month:
- Completed a really difficult realistic drawing, which I’m really proud of!
- Dedicated time to taking care of myself and telling trusted people about how I’m feeling
- Started taking steps to not dwell on my mistakes for a long time
Lovely events such as World Autism Acceptance Week (https://www.autism.org.uk/get-involved/raise-money/world-autism-acceptance-week-2024) and World Health Day (https://www.who.int/campaigns/world-health-day) took place this month - which made me think that this month's theme could be about self-care!
So in relation to this month’s theme, how have you been taking care of yourselves this month?
For me, I’ve been writing on my journal every day now. It has helped me escape from all the pressure and stress that placement has recently been bringing me, and it really has helped me overthink less and not dwell on my mistakes too much. I also tried my best to make sure I have time to meditate.
If anyone has any ideas of what the theme could be for next month/what theme you would like, feel free to let me know!
Incredible job for getting through April, and I hope May will be bright for you as we say hello to spring!

Re: April achievements, with a theme of self-care!
This month for me in particular I tried to listen to brown noise when working which I did today actually. I also ended up unsubscribing from channels and influencers I no longer look at or support because it helped me to mentally declutter. I don't know what I really did self-care wise this month personally but I think those kind of count . I also had well-being training as part of my media traineeship and ended up drawing a stress bucket to determine my triggers etc as well as writing down self care activities I can do if I feel anxious.

Re: April achievements, with a theme of self-care!
got going with yet more uni assignments so I'm not leaving things to the last minute, read a few books this month in my spare time and started to let go of the past some more so that it doesnt bring me down
Re: Coming out as non binary
@Matthew_04 ye I don’t really reach out a lot tho kinda feel like I don’t usually get a lot interaction so I sorta gave up. I came out on insta today tho so am hoping the whole coming out thing is going ok
Re: Might report my mother to the police tomorrow (TW: abuse, si)
I did it, it's done and you know what made me really happy, hearing that she'll have to be arrested to be taken into custody and questioned
After 14 years she won't be expecting it at all, I wish I could be there to see it
And now I really want something to come of it, I want her charged, could you imagine, after all these years of gritting by, keeping secrets and pure struggling in silence, that she gets what she deserves
Although, obviously it might only go as far as questioning

Re: Hello everybody
Hi Ella, my fav crystal is amethyst. I love to sing songs from six the musical especially don't loose your head sang by Ann Boleyn. It was hard for me to make my first post but when I did it I felt so much better. Thank you
