Self-Harm Recovery Daily Check In: Sunday April 14th, 2019
Hey amazing community!
Have you ever felt like you failed? How did things move forwards for you to not feel like a failure anymore?
What are some self-care plans you have for today?
What are the highs and lows of your day?
It is okay to feel like you have failed but remember to have failed you would have put in work to get to that fail - those who dont try and fail dont have the opportunity to learn and grow. Having an opportunity to work forwards with something is an amazing feeling. Not everything will go perfectly or according to plan and that is okay, it just means it is time to learn again and time to problem solve how to move forwards.
Keep being amazing

@bear228 Hey, how are you?
Yeah, all the time. Still do to be honest. Seems like every step forward brings 2 steps back.
Spent time outside for awhile in the woods.
Um, Been a down day all around, so no ups yet.
Have a good rest of the weekend, take care
Have you ever felt like you failed? How did things move forwards for you to not feel like a failure anymore? One time I felt like I failed was when I was sent away from home for a while. I felt like I was to much for my parents to handle. I moved forward using some skills I learned like check the facts. I know it wasn't that I was too much, it was that my parents and I didn't have the resourses to deal with my self harming behaviors.
What are some self-care plans you have for today? I am going horse back riding!
What are the highs and lows of your day? We had pancake breakfast at my church which is a fund raiser for the youth group and I helped out which was fun. I have not had any lows today!
Hey :)
Have you ever felt like you failed? How did things move forwards for you to not feel like a failure anymore?
Yeah I think everyone feels that way sometimes, I move forward by taking care of myself and motivating myself to do things that will make me proud of myself
What are some self-care plans you have for today?
Well I woke up and did some meditation, tonight I'm going to have a bath with a bath bomb
What are the highs and lows of your day?
Yesterday the highs were getting work done, relaxing and taking time for myself and making myself three delicious meals
the lows were having a breakdown, crying a lot, calling my ex
However I'm proud of myself for I had urges to relapse and completely refused them. About 1-2 months clean
@bear228 a few years ago I got into the "I can't loose if I don't try" mindset but about last year I realized if I don't try I can't win. I hate loosening but I like winning so I forced nyself out of my comfort zone and made myself do things. There was a huge pay off. I won some big competitions and people I didnt know we're congratulating me. I love seeing my family and teachers smile because of what I've done. That feeling is worth occasionally loosing. Loosing is good for you anyway.
I spent last night at my grandparents and we just lazed aroubd today. We webt to a baby shower and now I'm home. I'm not going to school tomorrow becayse I have a doctor's appointment. I'm hoping to get the help for things I've been to afraid to speak up about.
I'm trying to develop a new art style. I really want my art to improve so I'm working hard.
Hi @bear228 !! How's it going??
I'm not doing great, but I'm not devastated. My sister said something about her taxes and it really set me off for some reason. It would've been different if she'd mentioned something about my money but nope, it was just about her own, which was fine but I got really irritable so suddenly. What's odd is that it hasn't gone away and it's been hours since she said it. This isn't normal for me. Yeah, I snap pretty easily but it usually goes away quickly, and yeah, my emotional state can stay the same for days but there's usually a reason for it, but I've never just snapped and had it last for this long. I'm going to mention this episode to my counselor.
I've failed at a lot of things, and I'm super critical and harsh. I know I shouldn't be, but it gets really overwhelming in the heat of the moment and I think some pretty dark things sometimes. It's only afterwards I realize how I might've gone overboard but by then I'm too sad to do anything or think anything positive. I guess it's something I need to work on.
I think self care for me right now would be to try to deal with this irritability. I still don't know what caused it and I can't seem to calm down about it but if I can find a way to not feel this way then I'll do it. I wanna go out for a drive but it's dark and I have no reason to leave the house this evening. If I ask for the car my parents will ask why and I don't wanna talk to them right now.
Aren't I just a bundle of joy today lmao (seriously, I'm so sorry for just putting this here)
Anyways, I think I'll try to go to sleep soon. I've got an exam tomorrow anyways. Take care!!
