To be honest I don't have many things that I achieved in July sadly. But here are the things I did manage to achieve.
● held a talk for epilepsy
● won a golf game
● raised money for a charity
● finished writing the first chapter of my new book

Re: July 2025 achievements!
I have a few small ones I think.
- Working on my CV and I think it looks the best it ever has
- Completing counselling sessions in person at a center which I finished a couple of weeks ago in July, I think it's good because I could have done with it for years but put it off and couldn’t get the courage to do it
-Staying at home not fully alone with someone but with my main family members gone, I know some people live alone younger than me or my age but I was given some responsibilities I wasn't normally used to, I think it shows I could probably manage alone in a house, it would just be budgeting.
-I think keeping going despite things being tough
Small things but sometimes still positive.

July 2025 achievements!
Happy August everyone! 
So sorry that this is a little late — but I’d really love to hear anything you’ve done in July that you’re proud of! As always, feel free to write down as many achievements as you wish
Here are my achievements:
- I graduated!
- I replied more to my friends and opened up to them a bit more about how I’m really feeling
- Had a job interview, and although I didn’t get the job in the end, the employers told me that I was part of the 4 that got shortlisted for the interview out of 26 applicants, which I’m extremely proud of!
Well done for getting through July everyone! Hope you all have a lovely August

Re: Introducing Good News Friday!
This week's good news story: Canadian province to make ‘ghosting’ illegal
Companies and businesses will no longer be allowed to ‘ghost’ candidates that they interviewed for a job under new rules coming into effect in the Canadian province Ontario.
Interviewing for a role only to hear nothing back is a frustratingly familiar experience for many job seekers. However, an update to Ontario’s Employment Standard Acts will oblige firms to notify candidates about the status of their application within 45 days.
The new rules, which will apply from 2026, will also oblige firms to outline salary details in adverts and disclose whether artificial intelligence is used in the hiring process.
The legislative tweaks, lawmakers said, will improve transparency for jobseekers going through the recruitment process. It’s not clear how they will be policed.
What do you think of this? Have you ever applied for a job role and heard no reply back? Do you think something like this should be introduced in the UK too?
Honestly the amount of times I have been ghosted by various companies is unreal. I have applied for so many jobs over the coming year and months but sometimes companies won't always respond as an anxious and also autistic person it adds extra stress and worry on whether I got the job or not. Also in some places it mentions if you meet most of the criteria and your neyrodiverse/have a disability they will interview you. Did thus happen to me? Nope sadly. However on a positive I'm going to be doing an internship in September designed for neurodiverse people in mind.

Re: June 2025 achievements!
@kaii
I'm studying psychology too!
Yeah I'm hoping if i can focus on using academic language and actually comprehending what i'm writing instead of regurgitating a journal article I'll be okay. I know it's gonna be a lot of work but i am actually so excited that i get to do this.
I am going to be doing my work placement at a charity centered around working with children and families - improving peer support and community connection - I am SO EXCITED!!
I feel like after so much work in my degree, transition and social life and stuff - the pieces are finally coming together, it's so exciting to see everything finally falling into place!!
I hope you have a wonderful July too!!
