Self-Harm Recovery Daily Check-In: Monday, June 22nd, 2020
Heya amazing people and hello again Monday!
Today I wanted to briefly talk about gratefulness, astonishment… and science (I promise it won't get too nerdy!)! How do these three relate? Well, from a biological point of view, were all masterpieces. Molecular masterpieces to be more specific. Were made up of about 30 trillion cells (30,000,000,000,000, yup I looked it up) and they all work together in such complex ways to enable us to breathe, feel, hear, see, talk, think, love, laugh, communicate, learn, remember, …live! But of course, our body can fail us sometimes, our brain can go against us, our emotions can be incredibly hard to handle, our thoughts can be extremely challenging… yet there are a lot of behind-the-scenes that happen like our heart beating, our muscles working, our lungs breathing, and we sometimes tend to take all that for granted and forget how amazing we all are.
So this is a gentle reminder that were all masterpieces (and in many more ways than just a biological way!) I know Im a complete nerd when it comes to biology, but I hope I was able to convey some astonishment and a bit of gratefulness for our bodies through science, something simple that we often forget to be amazed by and grateful for <3
1) How are you feeling?
2) How did your weekend go?
3) How do you plan on taking care of yourself this week?
4) What are some things that you are passionate about or that amaze/impress you?
5) If there was a movie you could see again for the first time, which one(s if you cant decide!) would it be?
Feel free to share anything else in your mind! Ill be looking forward hearing from you all!
Take good care of your amazing selves, stay safe <3

Hey @LinearWaves ! Hope you're having a good day :)
1) How are you feeling?
Feeling good so far I think. I talked to a friend and he makes me feel really happy.
2) How did your weekend go?
Didn't go so well :/ Got reprimanded by my parents for not cleaning my room and got scolded further because I messed up the whole room removing things and forgot to finish cleaning. By the end of the weekend, tho, I finished a project I had been working on and felt good :)
3) How do you plan on taking care of yourself this week?
Art and music. Talking to my friends. Taking morning walks.
4) What are some things that you are passionate about or that amaze/impress you?
I am passionate about Art(drawing and painting) and Music (playing the keyboard, guitar, singing), but haven't been able to practice either because I don't have any motivation :[
I'm impressed, taken back by the courage of everyone protesting in the BLM movement. I'm awed by how positive black people still are, despite the world being against them at times. I hold respect for people who managed to come out to their homophobic parents and hope to have the courage to do the same in the future.
5) If there was a movie you could see again for the first time, which one(s if you cant decide!) would it be?
I really can't think of movies right now ughh. If I had to choose, Kill Your Darlings, maybe?
Hope y'all have a good day/night ! thanks for reading :D
@MAB23
Hi there !
I'm sad to hear that your weekend didn't seem to go very well but you seemed to have moved past it and I'm glad to hear that you're feeling good today :) It's quite satisfying to finish a project isn't it ? Have you got any new projects in mind ?
Morning walks sound nice ! I should go on more walks, it's nice to get some fresh air.
Drawing and painting sound interesting ! I hope you find the motivation to pratice your musical skills. I really admire people who can play an instrument, personally I just can't concentrate enough. Do you have any songs that you like to play ?
Just like you, I'm impressed by all these courageous people, choosing the hard route and standing up for themselves. They have a lot of positive energy !
I've never heard of Kill Your Darlings, I might check it out sometime !
Have a good week :)
@MAB23
Hey there MAB ! Its nice that youre feeling good, how lovely that you have such a friend to talk to!
Im sorry to hear the weekend didnt go so well though, I can definitely understand how tough it must have been to get reprimanded and then scolded even further… Did you manage to get the cleaning done tough? Congrats on finishing that project! I hear how good that must have felt, I hope it made up for the rest of the weekend!
These are really great plans to take care of yourself!
It sounds like you have a lot of passion for creativity! Im sorry though that motivation seems to be lacking these days though… I havent been able to draw/paint much either for months now, I wish I have some tips to share on how to get motivated again but when it comes to being creative it seems pretty hard :\ Do you feel there is something blocking your creativity/motivation maybe? I know that for example feeling stressed is said to hinder motivation a lot when it comes to creativity…
People standing up for themselves, either alone or even stronger when they can gather together around an important cause, gosh theyre so impressing and empowering! Im really impressed as well by people fighting for what they believe in and for themselves!
Ive never heard of that movie, I just watched the trailer and Im adding it to my list :p Thanks for sharing, and for checking in, I hope your week goes well, take care!
@MAB23
Hey MAB! What was your project? You sound so creative and fun! I wish I could see your art or hear your music.
Sorry about the parents. It can be so hard when they are upset with us. I'm proud of you for bouncing back and finding the positive.
1) How are you feeling?
bad
2) How did your weekend go?
bad
3) How do you plan on taking care of yourself this week?
I have no idea
4) What are some things that you are passionate about or that amaze/impress you?
singing playing music drawing
5) If there was a movie you could see again for the first time, which one(s if you cant decide!) would it be?
IDK I guess maybe spiderman into the spider verse
@maricat30 I'm sorry to hear that you aren't doing well. I am praying for you.
@maricat30
I'm sorry to hear that you're having a hard time. Hang in there. Better days will come around soon and if need be we're here to help you. You've got this !
Sending positive thoughts your way !
@maricat30
Hey there Maricat !
Im really sorry to hear how youve been feeling… If theres anything that we can do to help, like if you want to let things out or anything, were here for you! We also send lots of hugs (only if you want them!) and good vibes in your way!
It sounds like you have lots of creative hobbies youre passionate about! Do you think trying to do more of that when you can during the week could help improve your mood a bit?
Really cool movie! I definitely wish too that I could re-discover it as if I had never seen it before!
Take care and thanks for checking in today, I hope your week goes well!
@maricat30
I'm so sorry your week is going so poorly. I really hope it improves. Hugs. I know it can be easy to spiral when it feels that everything is falling apart. Wishing you joy in the small things. Hoping you get to enjoy those creative hobbies.
@maricat30
I'm sorry your having a tough time keep your head up high, I'm sending positive vibes your way. 
1)How are you feeling?
Awful. Last night was a long fight to not cut, and I made it through but I didn't know how hard this morning would be.
2) How did your weekend go?
My weekend actually went well.
3) How do you plan on taking care of yourself this week?
I don't know. I probably need more sleep.
4) What are some things that you are passionate about or that amaze/impress you?
Music, I think it is amazing how just sounds can invoke feeling and even pictures in people's mind.
5) If there was a movie you could see again for the first time, which one(s if you cant decide!) would it be?
The MCU becuse, you know, it is the MCU. But really I would probably watch the Bourne Trilogy. I love that trilogy.
@Nerdygirl16
Hi !
Hang in there. I know the fight against oneself is hard but you'll manage one day. I believe in you :)
I share your thoughts on music :)
Hope you have a good week, sending positive thoughts your way :)
@Nerdygirl16
Hey there!
I can hear how hard it must have been to fight off the urges last night, and to have the morning be challenging as well… You did amazing by making it through though! I
@Nerdygirl16
omg! You are so strong. To fight an urge that long is soooo hard. You are so amazing. And the morning after...it's so hard to stay strong! Congrats!
yes! Favourite music? What is a good go-to song for you right now?
@Nerdygirl16
Stay strong, sending positive vibes your way.
@itidc Thank you
@LinearWaves
Hi Waves, hope you're having a good day ! Thanks for the post. Just so you know, I love it when people are nerdy. It's great when people are passionate about certain subjects and look into it and all that fun stuff. Be as nerdy as you want !
1) How are you feeling? I'd say pretty good.
2) How did your weekend go? Not so good.
3) How do you plan on taking care of yourself this week? I'll finally see my brother after not seeing him for 3 months, so I'm looking forward to it.
4) What are some things that you are passionate about or that amaze/impress you? Anything artsy really. I mean it amazes me how people can make music. It's just like so many emotions all wrapped up and transformed into sound. And I love that fact that a certain sound/song can cause physical reactions, like some songs will always give my the chills, it's great !!
5) If there was a movie you could see again for the first time, which one(s if you cant decide!) would it be? I'm not really into movies. Nothing comes to mind.
@Slizzy564
Thanks for saying that ! I totally agree with you, its so amazing when passionate people start speaking about what theyre passionate about, the spark in their eyes is so good to see ! Plus when theyre able to make it understandable, its even better!
Its nice to hear youre feeling good! Although Im sorry that it wasnt the case for the weekend… Hopefully the week will be better, and if not the weekend sounds like it will definitely be much better!
Music is real magic! Some songs just have so much power, its amazing! When it comes to feelings, I love Alec Benjamins songs, theyre so intense, mostly sad tough… Instead of a movie, are there some songs you wish you could hear again for the first time? (or are they just as powerful even after the 100th time?)
Take care, thanks for checking in, and thanks for all the lovely support youve been giving to everyone in the check-in, thats really so thoughtful and heartwarming! <3
@LinearWaves
Yeah right ? Sparkly eyes, the warmth in their voice and hands trying to convey the message, I love it :)
Oh I haven't listened to much of his stuff, I think the only song I have is Let me down slowly. I'll have to check it out.
Honestly I don't know. I mean the are loads of songs that just blew me away on the first listen but at the same time I like to get to know them, notice all the details, learn the lyrics ... And then they become sort of a home you know ? A comfort place. So as much as I like them on the first listen, I like them just as much afterwards but in a different way :)
I'm trying my best to share some kind words (even though sometimes I'm a bit ... Awkward ?). Thanks for the check in, take care <3
@Slizzy564
I could listen to these people for hours!
I
@LinearWaves
I definitely check it out ! What are your top 3 songs by him ?
I know right ? It's just great, it's like a soundscape and you can pick what you want to hear in it :)
At times, I'm not so good with words, though I often say I'm full of kind words. I don't share them enough in my opinion.
@Slizzy564
Top 3, thats a hard one ! Ill go with Paper Crown (absolute best!), Must Have Been The Wind, Demons. Although I dont know if the same happens to you, but if I find that depending on my mood, my music taste really changes! What are your top three bands/singer?
It can be hard to share our words, even if theyre kind (especially if theyre kind for some people lol) we definitely all should share more our kind words!
@LinearWaves
I've been checking him out through the evening but haven't got round to these ones, they'll be the next on my list !
And yes I do agree, my tastes change a lot depending on my mood too :)
Oooh that's hard ! I mean at the moment my favorite band is Stray Kids for sure. Then I'd say maybe Ateez no 2. And One Republic in 3. Honorable mentions : Ed Sheeran, Sia, NF, Fall Out Boy, Avenged Sevenfold and many more !
@LinearWaves
Okay update : I'm really enjoying the songs ! I love the MV for Paper Crown, there are not enough animation orientated MVs out there !! I like how Alec Benjamin has a way of telling a story and conveying emotions with simple words. Don't get me wrong I like detailed and researched lyrics but there's something so (I can't find the right word) natural (?) to this kind of music. The emotions hit harder because the lyrics are so relatable to our daily lives if you see what I mean ?
@Slizzy564
I totally get what you mean and agree with you ! The song just feel incredibly natural and relatable, maybe raw is the word for his songs.
Ill check them out! Thanks a lot for the suggestions!
@Slizzy564
you are so encouraging. I love your responses!!
And I love hearing your musical passion. So good!!! You seem to love life.
I hope you end up having the best week!
@FigureskatingEquestrian
Thanks for reading my answers <3
Music is my best friend to be honest. And yes I do love life even though some days are harder than others.
Thanks that's really sweet of you, I hope you have a good week too <3
@LinearWaves
1) How are you feeling?
I was good but I'm randomly sad trying to be okay
2) How did your weekend go?
Very good minus one incident but i took care of myself and coped by crying and taking my anxiety meds but since i was at a party i got drunk after i dealt with my problems
3) How do you plan on taking care of yourself this week?
It's actually my birthday on thursday so we are having a party over the weekend so that will help but im planing on taking it easy and spending time with my dog and husband and his family again 
4) What are some things that you are passionate about or that amaze/impress you?
im very passionate about art i love all art and reading currently my favorite books are old classics ive been reading 1800 books i love classics
5) If there was a movie you could see again for the first time, which one(s if you cant decide!) would it be?
The hate you give
@itidc
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope it's the best, and you get all the fun, friends, and puppy snuggles that you desire!!
I'm sorry you've felt all the anxiety and stuff. But like @linearwaves said, please be careful mixing alcohol ang medications (particularly benzos).
I love your passion for art! Favourite medium?
@FigureskatingEquestrian
Thank you so much!!! Don't worry I'm careful I barely get drunk I normally just have a glass of wine here and there. Thank you I honestly love to look at paintings, me personally I draw and also paint.
@itidc
thats so awesome!!!! Landscape? Portrait? Animals? Anything in particular?
@FigureskatingEquestrian all paintings theyre just so beautiful
@itidc
Heya ! Im sorry to hear the way you feel changed from good to randomly sad… Do you experience these kinds of changes in your mood often?
Its great to hear the weekend went well, despite one incident, and that you were able to take care of yourself and cope! (on a slightly boring note, I just wanted to mention the fact that alcohol and meds together can be not-so-great as it very likely makes the meds less effective - I promise I really don't mean to be annoying! I just thought it was worth mentioning just in case you didnt know of the effects)
These sound like great plans! Its great to hear that you have fun things planned for your birthday and that youll spend it in good company!
Art is so powerful! And wow, thats a lot of reading! Do you have an all-time-favourite book?
Im definitely adding that movie to my list, I dont even know how I havent watched it yet :o
Thanks for checking in, take care! Have a nice week!
@LinearWaves
No it doesnt change a lot, I know it actually says not to mix it I rarely do and thanks for trying to help! Sorry for the confusion I meant the year 1800 lol and yes its the face of deception by iris johansen. It's so good i love that movie!! Thank you for replyin and you as well
@itidc
That makes more sense! Although I actually have no clue how many books we can possibly read… I didn
@LinearWaves youre welcome and it so good!
1) How are you feeling?- I'm feeling okay. Tired but okay.
2) How did your weekend go?- My weekend was good. Out in the sun most of the time and I got sunburned lol.
3) How do you plan on taking care of yourself this week? - I'm going to work on my eating habits this week, and My posture.
4) What are some things that you are passionate about or that amaze/impress you? - Cooking has always impressed me. The dishes that people can cook and make them look outstanding.
5) If there was a movie you could see again for the first time, which one(s if you cant decide!) would it be? - The maze runner. I Miss the good old days of seeing them. The first Avengers too. God my geeky heart.
@Goldcherry2113
Hey there Gold !
Its nice to hear youre feeling good, despite tired, and that you have a nice weekend in the sun ! Sunburns can be quite annoying though!
These two sound like important ones, eating habits can influence us a lot, and bad posture can definitely bring pains… Do you have ideas already on how to focus well on these?
Youre so right! Some plates look like masterpieces sometimes, and then I try to reproduce it and it looks terrible lol Cooking definitely is an art!
These movies, yes! We definitely need more movies like that!
@Goldcherry2113
i love your goals! And cooking is amazing. Do you cook? Do you have a favourite dish to cook? I've never seen the Maze Runner movie, but I did enjoy the book.
@FigureskatingEquestrian I love cooking, I love to cook anything with pasta.
1) I'm alright
2) Kinda strange. My doctor wants me to "periodically" have appointments to monitor one of my vitals. I want to live my life the way I choose. I want to enjoy my last summer break instead of being reminded all summer that I've had this problem. I regret being honest to my previous doctor when she asked questions. This will forever be on my records and future doctors will just have the same concerns, tie me down the same way. I don't want to keep worrying about this. People change, but my doctors will treat me as if I can't change. As if I can't be trusted. Having many appointments harms me from stress. I'm gonna have to bring it up next time. Otherwise, I've been fine.
3) Hm, I guess just taking it easy.
4) Can't think of any at the moment.
5) If there was a movie you could see again for the first time, which one(s if you cant decide!) would it be?
@Lexloveslife
I'm sorry about your health stuff. It can be so frustrating. I hope the doctors can find a way to help you without causing too much stress for you.
akso, I love your username. So fun!
@FigureskatingEquestrian
Thanks!
@Lexloveslife
Hey Lex ! Its good to hear youre alright, although I can definitely understand how these frequent appointments to check on your vital must be quite pressuring and frustrating… I hope there can be a way to make these appointments less of a pain, do you think building a small routine around them could be of help? For example if theres a coffee/tea place near the doctors office where you could go have a nice cup afterwards, or a park or something? That being said, I hope these appointments get less frequent over time so you can fully enjoy your summer break! Health sure is important to check but too frequent checking can get quite annoying…
Taking it easy sounds like a nice plan! I hope you can have a nice week, take care and thanks for sharing!
@LinearWaves
i love this post so much! (And I think everyone else did too!!!) You are such a positive light! And I love your nerdy passion. It's so cool!!
1) How are you feeling?
RN, tired and hungry. Getting off a 13 hour shift. A little frustrated with my parents and the escalating police violence against protestors and the covid stuff. I'm scared we will never get truly back to normal. BUT, I'm happy and excited to be alive!
2) How did your weekend go?
Rough. There was some abuse, SH, and panic attacks. Father's Day is rough when your father is your abuser. BUT I got to work with the horses some last night
3) How do you plan on taking care of yourself this week?
surving work. JK. Lots of walks and making time to read
4) What are some things that you are passionate about or that amaze/impress you?
HORSES!!! AND FIGURE SKATING! I'm obsessed but I guess my username gives that away. Also, hiking, animals, travel, different cultures, my faith, my friends, reading/books, photography, sports, yoga, music, so many things
5) If there was a movie you could see again for the first time, which one(s if you cant decide!) would it be?
If I could relive the Harry Potter magic for the first time again.......
@FigureskatingEquestrian
Thank you for that ! I tried not to get into too much details :p
I hope you were able to get something nice to eat and some rest after that long shift! I can definitely understand you about being scared things wont ever truly get back to normal, I dont actually know what to think on that… In a way it would be good if things didnt fully go back to normal as there were things definitely not working, but I guess its also kinda sad when things change. I just hope these changes will be for the best, because its sure the violence just cant keep going, as well as the injustices… Its really good though that youre staying excited to be alive no matter what! I really love and admire that positive strength!
Im really so sorry about how your weekend went, I hope youre in a much safer place now and can take care of yourself and do lots of things that make you feel better like working with horses, taking time for yourself, going on walks, reading (any good current/previous read??)
Your username would never have made me guess all that haha! Its really lovely to see how many things youre passionate about! I dont know how much they contribute, but I guess they make even more reasons to feel excited and happy to be alive when there is so much passion around/in you! Have you travelled a lot?
Harry potter is totally what I had in mind myself when I asked the question! Discovering that universe again with fresh new eyes would be so amazing! Especially the first when there universe is really set!
Thanks for checking in and for sharing, take good care of yourself! And thank you really for the time you take to read all the check-ins and to share some encouraging and positive words, it just makes me incredibly happy to see that happening in the check-ins! <3
@FigureskatingEquestrian
Hey there !
I'm sorry to hear that some things aren't going too well at the moment. I hope you manage to squeeze in some extra hours sleep and a nice meal. I do agree with you : with all the stuff happening at the moment, I also wonder when things will go back to normal. I suppose that we'll never go back to being like before, which is good in a way, I hope we progress on certain things. You could say that 2020 was one hell of a year (and we're only in June!).
I'm gald to read that you're happy to be alive. So many people miss out on the joy of life. There are many good things if only can see them :)
Your weekend did sound rough. I'm so sorry to hear about your father. I wish you all the best, I hope things will work out for you <3
You really do sound passionate about horses ! Do you own one/some ? And figure skating sounds great !! Although I don't quite think it'd be for me, I'm pretty clumsy x) But you never know, I might try one day !
Oooooh yeah the Harry Potter magic ! I remember be so absorbed in reading those books. I would litterally sit still for hours on end without moving, the good old days ! Which is your favorite book/movie ?
