Self-Harm Recovery Daily Check-In: Monday, January 18th, 2021
Heya everyone, happy Monday ! Apparently today is Blue Monday aka the most depressing Monday of the year, so let’s hope it still goes alright !
I wanted to share this important reminder as lately, my late night thoughts haven’t been a super great place to get stuck in… Late night thoughts can often get overwhelming and also pretty distorted, which is why it’s important not to pay too much attention to them!
1) How are you feeling today?
2) What is on your mind?
3) Do you have specific things you do before getting to bed?
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

@LinearWaves
1) How are you feeling today? stressed
2) What is on your mind? school and how its cauing me to over stress and over think
3) Do you have specific things you do before getting to bed? I listen to calming music before bed every night
@unassumingSpruce9514
Hey there ! I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling stressed, school can definitely bring a lot of stress and overthinking… Do you have some classmates you could talk about so as to let things out and maybe get their tips to handle their stress?
Listening to calming music sounds like a great thing!
Thanks for checking in, take care!
@LinearWaves i have a few but they barely talk to me and i dont like going to my gf abt it bc i dont want to cause stress for her aswell
@unassumingSpruce9514
It's understandable and very thoughtful of you not to want to cause stress to your gf! However if you feel the need to let your stress out its also very okay and can be just letting things out and not putting it on anybody! If anything, don't hesitate to reach out to a listener if you need to talk about the stress you're under and maybe brainstorm ideas to help lessen it!
@LinearWaves
I've not seen that picture before and I LOVE it. Thank you for that important reminder. ❤️
@rebecca947
They’re extra important yes!
I hope you’re doing alright <3
@LinearWaves
) How are you feeling today?
I'm feeling sad since a situation finally sinked in.
2) What is on your mind?
I just broke up with my boyfriend. We weren't talking for two weeks but in those two weeks I wasn't that effected. I missed him and I wanted him to send me anything, even a text of him saying he hates me. I just didn't understand why he ghosted me. I thought he was busy and he had a lot of stuff going on mentally. Last night I told a friend how I would probably angrily text him if he ever responded. This morning something told me to check our messages, I gave up on checking, and he texted me. He told me everything that it was an urge to ghost everyone he knew. In that moment I was worried for him and sent him long paragraphs wishing him well and telling him that people are there for him. I wtote that it would also be better for us to break up. I sent it to him and my best friend. My best friend was proud of me and asked me how I felt. I told him I just woke up so I felt okay and to see what happens when it sinks in. Around 5 p.m. it did sink in. What we've been through for two years as friends and how we've liked each other but didn't date because of our lives. I just thought of everything that involved him. I wanted to cry and still do. I do think breaking up was the best choice for both of us and maybe so was stop being friends as well. I will admit that I will miss him since he was one of my closest friends and he knew almost everything about me. I'm so special to have had him in my life and truly wish the best for him, who used to be my starboy: I love you and I want you to be happy. Remember people are here for you no matter what you're going through. You're strong and I believe in you.
3) Do you have specific things you do before getting to bed?
Just a skincare routine and brush my teeth. Things like that.
@sleepydandelionbby
Hey there ! I’m really sorry to hear you’re feeling sad… It sounds that you handled a very important situation that was weighting on you for some time now, even though it wasn’t affecting you yet. I’m really glad that despite the sadness you’re feeling, you feel that it is the best choice for you both. Sometimes we unfortunately have to take hard decisions that make us sad and will probably make us sad for a little while, yet they’re still the right decisions. I hope that maybe with more time you can reconnect with him and find him again since it sounds like he really matters to you. I send you all my support!
It’s a nice routine!
Thanks for checking in, take care!
@LinearWaves
I'm feeling bad today.
Just a bunch of self-doubt, bad thoughts, and the usual on my mind
I usually try to make sure my work is all done (If I don't I can't sleep) and then I hug a pillow (or my stuffed bear) and fall asleep.
@RayK263
Hey there! I'm sorry to hear the other day was bad... with self doubts, bad thoughts on your mind, you mention its the usual, does it often weight on you though or is it usually manageable?
It sounds like you've got a comforting night routine, thanks for sharing! Take care!
1) How are you feeling today?
I am feeling alright.
2) What is on your mind?
Worried about my English essay.
3) Do you have specific things you do before getting to bed?
I do my skincare routine and I usually spend my time on 7cups or another mental health app before bed.
@TheMeadowSystem
Hey there! It's good to hear you were feeling alright the other day, I hope things stayed that way!
About your English assay, do you need to finish it?
It sounds like a conforting night routine! Thanks for sharing it, take care!
1. I’m feeling ok, I’m trying to look on the bright side of things and be positive 2. A lot of schoolwork has been on my mind and it’s really stressing me out and my family is getting ready to move and that’s put a lot of pressure on me but I’m trying not to worry about it too much 3. I like to light a candle and read or talk with my partner to destress and get my mind off things so I don’t go to bed stressed
@Rainbowphrog
Hey there! It's nice to hear you were feeling OK the other day and trying to look on the bright side, that's a really important view to have on things, I hope things stayed that way!
Good luck with your schoolwork, I hope you managed to do it! As for moving, it sure can add some pressure but it sounds like your family is taking care of it!
It sounds like a lovely night routine, thanks for sharing it take care!
Thanks, you too!! <3
@LinearWaves
1) How are you feeling today?
Today was ok I guess, but it’s been a long week.
2) What is on your mind?
The fact that my life is becoming a giant tangled up mess. Stress due to everything that’s happening right now is getting to me, but also it’s making family a lot harder to deal with sometimes. Just, I’m running out of strength to be the strong one.
3) Do you have specific things you do before getting to bed?
Overthink everything for hours before sleep finally arrives. Before that read a book most of the time.
@CallmeKir
Hey there! It's good to hear you were feeling OK, I hope the weekend will bribg you some more calm!
I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with all these thoughts and worries, stress can definitely add up and make pretty much everything harder to handle... You don't always have to be the strong one though, it's okay sometimes to let things out or to share your worries to your family or friends or listeners, they can help you carry the weight of everything that is pressuring you!
I can relate on the overthinking part..! Do you find that reading prevents a bit that overthinking though?
Thanks for checking, take care !
@LinearWaves
Thanks for the nice response :) I often do read a book before bed but all that does is make the time I start thinking later, doesn’t usually help with it unless it’s very late in which case I’m not sure if that’s much better.
