Self-Harm Recovery Daily Check-In: Tuesday, April 2nd, 2019
Hey SHR Community, i know i did this one last time but it didnt get much response so doing it again
The above quote has got to be one of my favourites which inspires me to recover no matter how many times I fall I get back up and try again think of it this way the horse bucks you off you fall I was told don't show the horse it put you off you get back on and show your in charge its the same with life, of course, theirs only so much we can control some is out of our control but its a metaphor after all
How are you all feeling this week
What is your favourite quote that inspires you to recover
If you could have just one wish what would it be

Hey there @CaringBrit !! How's it going?
I'm doing okay today.
One quote that inspires me is something one of my soccer teammates told me "wipe away all the horrible things that happened today and focus on how good you can make tomorrow". It's really helped me through my lowest points this week.
I do have wishes but if I told you, wouldn't come true haha, but I can give you a general idea if you'd like, it has to do something with my soccer team and the upcoming season :)
That's enough of me for now. Take care!!
@CentreMid
going ok just sleepy today and good to hear
thats an awesome quote and glad to hear it helped you too
true lol and i think i somewhat know and hope they do come true
@CaringBrit Hiya How are you?
Um...y'all..all y'all , all'a y'all..lol singular to plural. sorry spent sometime in the south.
I'm doing pretty good. busy.. A little goofy. Freaking cold outside. Thought it's supposed to be spring?
This weeks quote.. I haven't failed...I just found 10,000 ways that haven't worked.
If wishes were horses.. beggars would ride.. I would wish for 8 solid, blissfully, peaceful, uninterrupted hours of sleep. Ok..I'd settle for 6.
Have a good day, take care.
@mytwistedsoul
heyyy twisted I'm ok just a bit sleepy been in n out all day think my apnea is in charge today until insomnia kicks in again
I know really its been cold here while its meant to be spring was raining this mourning then tonight was hailing was like whattt lol
nice quote to remember never give up you'll find what works hang in there
awww uninterrupted sleep would be nice wouldn't it
@CaringBrit This whole not sleeping thing..really sucks. Well..yeah...you know too.
Craziest weather. Just saw that we have a fire weather watch here. Cold and now apparently dry enough for fires. Crazy
Thanks... you too
Uninterrupted sleep..sounds like a fairytale, doesn't it? Someone needs to talk to Disney or Pixar about it.
Sorry...just killing time. Have a good one.
@mytwistedsoul
yup it does
awww no stay safe
it sure does
@CaringBrit
I am feeling anxious this week. There are some changes going on with my job. I made a mistake taking this job. I need to find a different one.
I don't have a favorite quote. The one you chose is nice.
I would wish for my daughter to be filled with kindness and have a happy, healthy life.
@RedHawk6547
Heyy there Red aww hope you find a new one asap sorry to hear your beginning to regret taking the job your in are these changes bad ones or too many of them at once so becoming overwhelming etc
Sorry to hear you're feeling anxious too it isn't easy is it being caused because of the changes
that's ok was in case anyone had one either a favourite or one they felt inspired by glad you think so it is a great one I've heard a lot when it comes to recovery
such an awesome wish how old is your daughter
@CaringBrit
Thank you for your reply. I think the changes are bad for me. They are putting more and more on me. I'm being told if I can't step up and take more responsibility without extra pay, I could be without a job. It's not what I signed on for. Anyway my daughter is 12 and it's a very trying time for both of us.
@RedHawk6547 in otherwords blackmail wow no wonder your looking for another i would too in your shoes you dont deserve to be treated that way
Hi Brit
I feel hurt and scared. I'm really anxious and just trying to hold myself together.
I like this quote from Rocky:
@FloweringBunny
Heyy there Flower
Sorry to hear your feeling hurt, scared and really anxious neither one is easy you are however not alone would it help to say why you feel this way
that's is such an awesome quote and super true too
a wish I hope someday comes naturally to you it isn't easy however the bad ones can be super tempting cant they, have you got any good coping methods that do work
I'm good just in and out of dozing the apnea I suffer within control right now got that and insomnia so one moment I keep dozing but because of apnea my sleep interrupted so it's never refreshed sleep then some days I can't even sleep so I've been resting allowing my body the sleep
@CaringBrit My partners brother was verbally abusive and threatening to me last month. And now if I want to see my partner and friends I have to be in the same house as him. I keep trying to talk to my partner but they don't understand how scared I am.
I don't have many healthy coping skills, I try to get outside and walk, and do some colouring.
Sorry about your problems with sleep, I hope you get some proper rest soon xx
@FloweringBunny if it was me getting that treatment i too would feel anxious and scared im sorry they dont seem to understand how you feel thats not fair on you at all if your partner truly loved you theyd want you to feel safe
its ok colouring is a cool method along with your other choices its about what work for us that we use as coping methods at the end of the day their ar tons you could try but very much up to you
Hello @CaringBrit !
I am doing ok this week. Unfortunently I don't have a quote right now, but I did like yours :)
@PurpleSnail good to hear your doing ok and glad to hear you liked mine it is a very good quote thats for sure
On sunday night I ended up cutting. The reason why is because my parents took my phone and my laptop away, so I was left with my thoughts and my brain tells me that I'm unwanted, unloved, stupid, ugly, worthless,Etc. in the voices of my friends, and I hate it almost as much as I want to die, but that is a difftent topic.
*edited by forum mentor @rebecca947 for graphic description of method. Please PM me if youd like more information!*
@porter2927 hugs that cant of been easy losing possibly your only coping methods to deal with your thoughts hugs if you want one
@CaringBrit
