Self-Harm Recovery Daily Check-In: Monday, February 15th, 2021
Heya amazing people! Happy Monday, I hope you all have a good week!
I thought this was an important message to share! Sometimes people set expectations on us, they expect us to be someone we’re not and they get disappointed when we don’t meet these expectations, which can be tough… We’re who we are, not what someone else expect us to be! Especially when these expectations don’t match our own expectations about our own selves. Stay yourself, you’re unique!
1) How are you feeling today?
2) What is going well and not-so-well lately?
3) Feel free to share what’s on your mind, thoughts, worries, rant, success, joys, fears, ideas, long or not, big or not!
Feel free to share anything else in your mind! I’ll be looking forward hearing from you all!
Take good care of your amazing selves, stay safe <3

1- I'm not really sure tbh - Anxiety has been a pretty big problem lately. When anxiety is an issue so is harming
2 - I haven't harmed today - but it's been a pretty big problem the past week or so and I need to get it under control but the thought is allways there sometimes
3 - I need to get alot things under control. There's trouble with sleeping and nightmares. The anxiety is so bad sometimes - I can't eat and it feels like my stomach wants to rebel when I do it and it takes all I can do to keep it down. There's times I want to talk but can't. Times when I keep myself silent for the comfort of others. Because - well - just because. I get mixed messages - sometimes from people - sometimes it get's twisted on the path from my ears to my brain. I try to be a nice person but think I miss the mark alot of times. I don't like to hurt people but it happens and Idk - if it's intentional or if it just happens. There's times that it seems for as hard as I try - it just doesn't work out. As much as I'd like to talk to people I tend to distrust many of them - well - most of them lol. I'm sort of the town dog thats been beat too many times but still hangs on the fridges hoping for scraps. Get to close though and I run with my tail between my legs. I have no motivation for anything work related and haven't worked on anything since sept 19 when it was discovered that the one dog had cancer. We had to put her down on Thanksgiving day. It's been pretty much down hill from there. My choices have cost me the loss of a very special person that had been in my life. Tbh - I don't have much else left. We're still on lock down around here - so therapy is still not in person. And the art therapy is still closed
I think maybe I'll stop there lol - sorry for unloading all this here but thank you for hearing me
Take care and thank you for the checkin
@mytwistedsoul
Hey there !
I’m sorry to hear that anxiety has been a big problem lately, and that with anxiety comes harming… I don’t know how things have been since you posted, but I’m proud of you that you hadn’t harmed the other day! Especially as it’s so tough indeed not to harm when the thought in not far away in our head…
I hear you on all that, you really don’t have to be sorry about unloading it! We carry weights and every now and then it’s important to unload them and take a well-deserved and needed break! I hope that you can get things under control again, or even if not fully in control yet, at least some kind of compromise where you won’t feel that much anxiety or be bothered by troubles sleeping and nightmares, plus having people to talk to and so on, as well as finding back some motivation. It’s understandable though that things are tough, as you’re dealing with grief and I’m really sorry for your loss <3 Even if art therapy is still closed, do you think you could do your own form of art therapy?
Thanks for checking in, take care! And again, no need to be sorry at all about unloading, quite the contrary, I’m glad that you’re unloading!
@LinearWaves Thank you for your reply and for letting me unload. There could be alittle more art therapy done here at the house - you're right :)
Thank you - take care
Hey sorry I'm on mobile till I get my laptop its a weird format now lol 1) depressed lonely hopeless I dreamt of. My grandma last night let's just say it was rough and I drank aND smoked weed today 2) work is good Um I just yelled at my husband on Skype on our 1 year of marriage anniversary wasn't his fault just me dealing with alot and being a shitty person 3) just my grandma my husband don't wanna br alone depressed drunk high yeah know spiraling I'm not an alcoholic but I am a stoner by choice just want my husband with me it'd be better with him here 2)
@itidc
Heya ! It’s good to see you again !
I’m sorry to hear you were feeling depressed lonely and hopeless, it sounds that this dream affected you a lot… is it a dream or kind of dream that happens often?
I hope you’re feeling better now, when will you be back with your husband if that’s not already the case? As for dealing with a lot, is it something that you can talk to him about, so that he can provide the support needed to help you through this time?
Thanks for checking in, take care!
