Self-Harm Recovery Check-In - Friday, December 25, 2020

Often, we tell others that there is nothing wrong with having flaws and recognize that nobody is perfect. We then turn around and criticize ourselves for having flaws and making mistakes. Lately, I have been challenging myself to be more forgiving to myself. I challenge you to do the same :)
Check-In Questions
1) How are you feeling?
2) What is going well for you?
3) What is not going well for you?
4) How do you show self-love to yourself?

Hello @Flornhope
I'm sorry you are tired, I hope you can rest soon <3 Why do you feel like a fraud? I'm proud of you for making it this far! Keep going <3 Taking medicine and eating are great ways to show self-love! I know it can be hard to learn to love yourself, so I'm proud of you for trying <3
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple Thank you. I have never thought if myself as a real person. Anything I do like real people makes me feel like a fraud or a cheat
@SnailPurple
How are you feeling?
I am not that good but i cant really complain too
What is going well for you and what is not going well
Nothing really goes well or bad its just my mood changes all the time for no reason without anything happening so i really dont know
How do you show self love to yourself?
I really dont, i kinda stopped working out cause i feel tired and all i do is lay in bed listening to music
Hello @persistentTortoise5298
I'm sorry you are not doing well. even though it may not seem like it, it is okay to feel this way and there is nothing wrong with it. It also sounds like you have been having mood swings lately. Is this right? I understand, I also stopped working out because I was too tired. I hope we can both get some energy and start again :)
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple
1) How are you feeling?
Guilty
2) What is going well for you?
Can't think of anything
3) What is not going well for you?
I said something that someone took the wrong way and blow they think they did something wrong. I hope they can see my text where I apologised and explain what I meant.
4) How do you show self-love to yourself?
I go outside and blast music while dancing. It might sound weird but I enjoy it.
Hello @sleepydandelionbby
I'm sorry you are feeling guilty. It sounds like there was a miscommunication and now you feel bad. I'm glad you apologized and are trying to fix it though! I'm sure something good will happen to you soon <3 I think it is cool you go outside and blast music to dance to! It sounds really fun :P
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple
Hey. I'm doing pretty okay. I just feel overwhelmed right now.
One thing that is going good for me is that I'm learning how to drive. I hope i can take my first lesson this upcoming week.
One thing that isn't going well is my job. I'm hoping to get a new job in the healthcare field soon.
I try to journal my feelings daily and I'm still writing poetry to express myself. I'm also getting back into painting.
Hello @BrokenAngelxx
I'm glad you are doing okay. Is your job making you overwhelmed? Good luck finding a new one and thank you for joining the medical field <3 Congrats on learning to drive! That's awesome :D I love how poetry is helping you express your emotions <3
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple
thanks. my goal is to become a psychiatrist but if something happens and i don't for some reason get into med school i want to get my mph and become a psychiatric epidemiologist. i'd like to eventually have my own private practice.
things haven't been easy this year but i'm hoping 2021 will be better for my mental health as i return to school part-time while still working on my recovery
stay safe everyone!
@SnailPurple
yes my job is making me feel overwhelmed. my job isn't difficult but it is not something i enjoy which is why i want a career in the medical field. i've been looking to get into the medical field since i graduated from college in 2017. i think i might need to keep applying and if that doesn't work i might have to get in by volunteeering. i am not sure how hospital volunteering would go as covid is still happening but the only place i know that still needs volunteers is the suicide hotline which starts training after valentines day so i put in my app for that
