Hig five back @LinearWaves 
How are you feeling?
I am feeling ok today! And you?
If there is any, what is the downside/highlight or struggle/victory of your day?
The day has just started, so we will see :)
But I am meeting with a new therapist this afternoon, to see whether CBT could help me. This is perhaps a victory :)
How do you plan on taking care of yourself this week?
If the weather allows it, I plan to have lots of walks in the forest with my daughters. Schools are closed here because of the virus, and there is not much we can do. I also hope to convert them to yoga!
Take care Linear, a safe hug to you
@admaiorasemper
Heya Valeria !
Im glad to hear youre feeling ok today! Im doing okay too, an extra day of weekend would have been very welcome but I guess I can always dream haha
I hope this meeting goes well and can open up many recovery doors and give you more tools! Taking the meeting sounds like a victory in itself x
Its cool that you can take this opportunity to have some nice walks, and also do some yoga, lets hope the weather allows it!
Take care too and safe hug back to you, thanks for checking in today, its always good to hear from you!
Hello @LinearWaves ! I have to keep this brief, I'm in class lol
How are you feeling?
I'm so-so.
If there is any, what is the downside/highlight or struggle/victory of your day?
Nothing spectacular has happened yet today. It feels so unreal.
How do you plan on taking care of yourself this week?
Probably getting my assignments and such done.
I have to get back to class lol, take care
Hey there @CentreMid !
I hope that class and the rest of the day went well!
Getting your assignments done sounds like a good way to take care of yourself! I hope you can also some more personal and not-homework related self-care to rest from school too!
Thanks for checking in, it
1. Hello! I feel mostly calm. I've had some bouts of anxiety & frustration.
2. Struggle: baffled as to why I can and am willing to help others but not myself. There is a legit physical block. It's like I can't actually get up and do xyz thing, no matter how much I mentally hype myself up and develop the urge to do it. I accept that my brain is hooked on quick artificial fixes because the real work is painful. I accept that I have to really deal with some uncomfortable truths about my ED beliefs in order to get better. I fear being judged negatively which I think is blocking me but no one said I have to share these truths. I just feel a need to "confess". Confessing to myself or even my therapist isn't enough. It has to be a public apology for my thoughts. The last time I had this urge I broke down in class when someone showed a film dealing with fatphobia. I apologized for my eating disorder to a total stranger and it was so strange and awkward. I confessed to a professor that I had an ED, self harm problems other than ED, depression, and problems at home. It's like I'm screaming "someone please help me!" but I've already got some help and will be getting more soon. So what's going on? Why am I like this? Moving past this would bring a real happiness. Why can't I just forgive myself, be honest with myself without guilt, and do what I need to do to recover? Why can't I just recover? Ugh. Why am I letting the sick part of my brain stay sick?
3. I'm currently treating myself to a relaxing show, then I'm gonna watch a comedy and meditate before bed. Also lot of honest self reflection. I'm tempted to erase what I wrote above and put it in my journal instead. Gonna leave it and re-write it anyway. I'm very sorry about how long it is. I also think I need more sleep and to be gentle with myself. My hormones are out of whack right now and that contributes to heightened sensitivity along with sleep. Beating myself up does nothing productive. Being curious, however...
@Lexloveslife

One of my classmates made fun of me, but I was also productive during my free block today :)
