Self-Harm Recovery Daily Check-In: Monday, October 19th, 2020
Heya everyone! Happy Monday!
Today was a pretty lame day for me (to stay polite) so I figured it would be a good idea to share suggestions of things to do on bad days.
1) How are you doing?
2) What is the highlight of your day?
3) What do you do on bad days?
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

I'm doing a lot better now than i was a few months ago. Things were rough for a bit but they seem to be steadily getting better. Maybe all i needed was time to myself for a bit of self care and reflection
The highlight of my day was yesterday actually. It marked 7 months clean from cutting and i also finally got my permit yesterday afternoon as well. I'm super excited. My mom is even letting me practice in her car tomorrow before work. I still have to wait 2 weeks for it to arrive in the mail so i can take my 5 hour course before starting my driving lessons but I'm pumped to have some freedom and hope to get my first car next summer or by early september 2021.
For self care i like to journal and be creative (knitting, baking/cooking, painting and writing poetry and fanfics. I also like to read and go for walks.
@BrokenAngelxx
Heya ! It’s really great to hear that you’re doing a lot better than a few months ago, it’s such a positive message to hear!
Yayyyy for your 7 months mark and congrats on getting your permit, that’s amazing! I hope you have fun and enjoy practicing in your mom’s car tomorrow! Being able to drive and having your own car definitely brings a lot of freedom and independence!
These all sound like great things to do to take good care of yourself and cheer yourself up, thanks for sharing and for checking in, take care and congrats again!
@LinearWaves
Thanks friend!!!!
I've been making lots of progress towards my goals. It makes me feel good to know I've done something positive.
@BrokenAngelxx
It feels so rewarding when we can see our progresses ! Keep up the amazing work!
@LinearWaves
Thanks🖤🖤🖤🖤
I'll keep you guys updated on my goals as i work towards them
@BrokenAngelxx
Yay we'd love that! It's always motivating to see others progresses!
@LinearWaves
I 🖤 my 7cups fam
@LinearWaves hiyo! Thank you as always for your helpfulness! <3
1) How are you doing?
I am doing gud, thank you! Today I started to be productive, but I still need to figure out how to have a proper work rhythm.
2) What is the highlight of your day?
My highlight of the day is I prepared the stuff for university! :D it was hard but I did it.
3) What do you do on bad days?
I try to listen to music, relax and chill out, and try to read books which I consider comforting to me. And you?
@inventiveAcai3503
Hey there ! It’s good to hear you’re doing good and have started being productive, that one is tough to achieve and I hope you can slowly figure out the right work rhythm that works best for you!
Congrats on preparing your stuff for university despite how hard it was, it must feel great now that it’s done!
This sounds like a lovely list! Do you have go-to books that comfort you or do you try new ones every time? I do pretty much the same, relaxing, listening to music, sometimes watching a show, getting comfort food, getting cosy!
Thanks for checking in and letting us know how you’re doing, take care!
@LinearWaves
How are you doing? I'm not that great but could be better
Whats the highlight of your day? I worked out
What do you do on bad days? I just try to get through the day.
@Ericas12
Hey there !
It’s great to hear you worked out today, do you feel it’s made you feel better ? I usually feel much better after working out!
Trying to get through the day sounds like the best option possible, thanks for sharing and for checking in, take care!
@LinearWaves
I usally don't feel much better i just think finally i finished working out now im tired.
I also hope you have a good day too <3
@LinearWaves hey hey! I know this post is from last monday haha but I made the one for today, and wanted to check in somewhere :p <3
1. I am doing pretty well actually! Despite being out of contact with a lot of my friends, and having a bunch of school stressors, I have been doing alright. I am currently working on this draining case for my history class (it's a u.s. supreme court law case) so it is really long haha.
2. hmm hightlight.... well, my day generally is around the same everyday! I really enjoy routines, and doing things at the same time every day. I guess it depends on the day! Some days, it will be hopping on to 7 cups and hosting my discussions,some it will be calling friends, others it will be working on projects, and others it could be simply watching bob's burgers at the end of a long day haha.
3. hmp bad days. Generally I talk to people. in the middle of the day, I try to build up my schedule so there is no room for me to feel badly. But if everything is going wrong, and it's completely out of my control, I will talk to my friends, or my dad, or even my neighbor or brother! It always cheers me up <3
thanks so much for this lovely check-in! it was a nice break from my court case hahaha :p i hope you have a lovely day! *offers hug and cookie*
@enchantedlove
Heya ! No worries you can check in any Monday you want :p
It’s good to hear you’re doing good, especially despite being out of contact with a lot of your friends and having to face school stressors. I really hope though that you can get in contact again with your friends as it’s always pleasant! As for school stressors, do you have ways to handle them? Also good luck on this supreme court case, it definitely sounds draining just from the name of it!
Routines can definitely be great, I get you on that! It sounds like you have really nice highlights of your days, that’s good to hear! As for bad days, it’s a smart idea to build up your schedule so you don’t have time to feel bad, I think I’ll steal and try that one :p It’s lovely though to hear that you have great support around you when needed!
Have a lovely day as well, thanks for checking in! <3
@LinearWaves <3 Thank you haha! I too hope to talk to my friends soon! I generally manage my stress by pushing it out of my mind, i will think to myself, this will be alright, it doesnt do me any good to worry, so stop. it is kinda tough, but overall it works! haha i finished the case late last night yayyy :P
thank you!
@enchantedlove
Congrats on finishing your case! And thanks for sharing your way to handle stress!
1) How are you doing? - Not the best today, but I'll be okay.
2) What is the highlight of your day? - So far it's been my cup of tea and my cozy reading socks.
3) What do you do on bad days? - I try and take a bubble bath or a warm shower. Play some video games or watch some tv shows. Just take it easy and go with the moments.
@Goldcherry2113
Hey there ! It’s good to hear you’ll be okay, despite not feeling your best today, it’s a very positive mindset! I hope you feel better soon though <3
That sounds extra cozy! I might do that as well later on :p
These sound like lovely things to do, taking it easy and going with the moment definitely sounds like the best thing to do when not feeling great, thanks for sharing your tips!
Thanks for checking-in, take care!
