Self-Harm Recovery Daily Check-In: Monday, September 14th, 2020
Heya everyone! Happy Monday!
Theres a lot of things we learn throughout our life and recovery can also bring a lot of important lessons: how to cope with bad times, how to handle challenging times, how to make the most of good times, what brings you joy, what are your boundaries, and so on. Plus, whats amazing is that we can always learn more and things sometimes change: something we learned a few years ago might need to be changed because we changed too. Were constantly learning and changing!
1) How are you feeling?
2) What has been going well and not-so-well lately?
3) What are you still learning? Or what have you recently learned?
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

1. I'm feeling okay. actually more in control of things than usual.
2. school is going better than usual, so that's great! i'm struggling with wishing i had spent the past years differently and that i took more advantage of opportunities when i had them. but i'm happier than i have been in a while and i also read a really good book yesterday so i feel good : )
3. i'm still learning how to hold myself accountable to people.
@mollyviolet12
Hey there Molly ! Its great to hear youre feeling okay and more in control of things than usual, do you think something specific helped?
Yay for school! As for past opportunities, I get how youd wish you had taken more advantage of them, and spent the past years differently, but its good to remember that the past is in the past and we have to focus on the present/future as more opportunities will come to you!
Holding ourselves accountable to people is a tough one… Its great that youre still working on learning that one! Thanks for sharing and checking-in, take care!
@LinearWaves
thank you : ) i think what helped was being kinder to myself. and staying home for several months too has been really good for my anxiety.
moral of the story is stay strong! feelings are not forever.
@mollyviolet12

@LinearWaves, hey there! Yeah, comfy clothes, especially pajamas are great!
1) How are you feeling? Great. I'm currently clueless about what to do in my schoolwork. x)
2) What has been going well and not-so-well lately? I find it difficult to control the urge to sleep every morning. Yes, the bed is my best friend in the daytime.
3) What are you still learning? Or what have you recently learned? I learned that hypersomnia is another term for excessive sleeping. Frankly, I'm fascinated with the study of mental illnesses.
Thanks for the check-in and take care!
@LovelyOrangeJuice
Heya ! Its good to hear youre great, although I hope you can figure out your schoolwork ! Is there a classmate you could ask?
Hahah yeah leaving your bed in the morning is such a hard one! Its just so comfy!
I totally agree that the study of diseases is super interesting, I think it shows just how amazing our body is when all functions right!
Thanks for checking-in and good luck with schoolwork, take care!
@LinearWaves
1) How are you feeling?
I'm ok. Today is a pretty free day, so I can just work on my weekly Getting Things Done review and go through the stuff in my room, and try to get my life under control more or less. And grade a bit. Should be good.
2) What has been going well and not-so-well lately?
Still sleeping far too little. It is literally just a question of discipline / habit - I just stay up too late on the computer, usually doing nothing productive. But it concerns me, because it is the sort of thing that can affect my ability to cope with everything. I just haven't corrected it. I feel so unlike going to sleep when I should go to bed, either pent up, or like I haven't talked to people all day, or just not tired. I don't know...
3) What are you still learning? Or what have you recently learned?
Still practicing boundaries. Little things, forcing people to make appointments in my open scheduled appointment times not just walk into my office and ask questions at any time. That's the main one. It is not 100%, but baby steps.
@1morday
Heya ! Its great to hear youre ok and having a pretty free day so you can catch up on things and do things for yourself!
I get you on not feeling like going to sleep, even if youre staying up doing nothing productive, sometimes we just dont feel like going to sleep? But yeah, sleep is very much needed, so as to cope with things better, and so as to handle things better! Do you think that trying to set a time to go to bed could be helpful?
Its really great that youre working on boundaries, its not an easy one at all, so baby steps are already huge steps, keep up the good work!
Thanks for checking-in, take care!
