Self-Harm Recovery Check-In: Tuesday, December 10th, 2019
Happy Tuesday lovely SHR Community!

Today I would like to gently invite us all to give ourselves a well-deserved self-cuddle… When we wrap our arms around ourselves, we actually send a strong message to our body and we confuse our brain and pain receptors. Hugging ourselves is also a beautiful act of self-love and self-compassion that can feel and be very healing and very affirming.
Check-in questions:
How are you feeling today?
How has the week started for you?
Is there anything in your mind that you would like to share with us?
Love and extra safe tight hugs for anyone who wants them,
Valeria

@admaiorasemper hey!
How are you feeling today?
i am feeling quite relaxed today. i had an exam today and yesterday, so today after i came home i just went straight to bed and watched a TV-Show all afternoon. In the evening i decided to do some sports and now i am just going to relax before going to sleep soon.
How has the week started for you?
it didnt start of that well, actually. i had a maths exam yesterday and it went horrible. besides school, i guess my mental health is doing good though. I am currently working a lot on my confidence.
Hi there @dynamicHemlock1736 ! Thank you for checking in with us today (well, yesterday… sorry for my late reply)
I am sorry to hear that your week didnt start very well and that your maths exam went horrible. It must certainly feel very stressful having all those exams in only a couple of days…
I think it is very good and very healthy that you spent yesterday just relaxing! It seems you are taking good care of yourself and your mental health surely reflects this!
I also want to say that I am very very proud of you for working on your self-confidence. When we are self-confident, we can more easily get to live a happier and fuller life.
Take care and keep up the amazing self-work you are doing!

How are you feeling today?
Better, as apparently my nausea and headaches were withdrawals from my anxiety meds, and I only have a slight headache now :)
How has the week started for you?
Pretty eh, as the nausea and headaches were kicking my butt.
Is there anything in your mind that you would like to share with us?
8 months clean baby!!! :D
