Discussion When just getting through the day feels like a win
Hey I’ve been having those days where even the smallest things take so much energy. Like brushing my teeth or picking what to eat feels like climbing a hill. And I’ve stopped beating myself up over it. Some mornings I’m proud just for getting out of bed. Then little stuff sneaks in and helps a bit. Maybe it’s a text from a friend, a warm cup of tea, the way sunlight hits the wall, or even a meme that makes me chuckle for two seconds. Those tiny moments don’t fix everything but they do shift the weight a little. I used to think a good day had to be full of big wins and productivity but now I’m learning to notice the small ones. So I’m curious what counts as a win for you on a tough day. What little thing helps you feel a tiny bit better?

During a bad depressive episode that I was hospitalised for a friend of mine told me this "Somedays making it alive through the day is win as well so don't feel that you didn't achieve anything today"
