Self-Harm Recovery Daily Check-In: Tuesday, January 5th, 2021
Heya everyone, happy Tuesday!
I’ll be brief today but I really wanted to share this small reminder: some days feels like climbing the mount Everest, we think we won’t be able to make it because they’re so overwhelming and it feels like everything is going wrong, yet we make it through these hard days and these are victories worth celebrating and worth giving ourselves credit for <3
1) How are you doing?
2) Is there something taking up most of your headspace lately?
3) What did you do today that made you feel good? (or what could you do?)
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

@LinearWaves
How are you doing? I am doing better i woke up with more optimistism today
2) Is there something taking up most of your headspace lately? My health
3) What did you do today that made you feel good? (or what could you do?) I ate breakfast, i struggle with eating lately so this is a great improvement
@Godsbae
Hey there ! It’s nice to hear that you’re doing better today, especially as you were feeling so drained and numb yesterday! Do you know if something specific gave you more optimism or it just feels this way?
It’s also a great thing that you ate breakfast, I’m sorry to hear you’ve been struggling with eating lately though but I hope you can keep these improvements!
Thanks for checking in, take care!
1) How are you doing?
Not to awesome. But I could be worse
2) Is there something taking up most of your headspace lately?
I'm worthless. I am a detriment to others.
3) What did you do today that made you feel good? (or what could you do?)
I try and stay busy. But that's more so I don't notice how I'm doing than to make me feel good. Anything I have tried dosent really work and if I liked it before it dosent bo anything anymore.
@Flornhope
Hey there ! It’s a good thing that you’re keeping in mind that while things aren’t awesome, they could be worse !
I’m sorry to hear such thoughts are taking up your headspace… Do you find that staying busy also helps with these thoughts? Other than that, staying busy so as not to think/feel can always be a good thing to do. Even if there aren’t things that work, are there some things to stay busy that you prefer to do rather than others?
Thanks for checking in, take care!
@LinearWaves Thank you. It just keeps me from noticing. I try to keep up with all my obligations and go on walks if my back can handle it bout that doesn't always work.
1) How are you doing? - Not good, I'm sad, depressed, I don't feel real, Like I'm just floating in space.
2) Is there something taking up most of your headspace lately? - Uh I've just been making up stories in my head.
3) What did you do today that made you feel good? (or what could you do?) - I took a nap.
@Goldcherry2113
Hey there, I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling sad and depressed, plus not real and like you’re just floating… do these feelings of not feeling real happen often? I hope you’re feeling better since the other day!
For making up stories in your head, is it to distract yourself if you don’t mind me asking?
Yay for a nap! Thanks for checking in, take care!
1) How are you doing?
Awful and shocked.
2) Is there something taking up most of your headspace lately?
My job and my future.
3) What did you do today that made you feel good? (or what could you do?)
Today, like every morning of the past days I woke up and went to my work as usual, and when I stopped by the management clerks to give them the report of my presence they told my that my name have been removed from the salary list, so I went to my boss to ask him about that and he told me that I am fired. I went to my colleagues to say goodbye, and I tried to be strong and pretend that I am ok, but when I was talking I couldn't control my tears. I cried infront of them and they saw how bitty I am, so I lost my job, my dignity and my pride. when I returned home I slept then I continued reading the novel I was reading the past days 'A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles' and stopped by a situation like mine when Nina was leaving her daughter Sophia to Count Alexander Ilyich Rostov, Sophia tried to pretend to be strong and obey her mother so when she said ok her tears had fallen. I stopped crying now, but my mind doesn't stop thinking.
@DinaElwy
Hey there, I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling awful and shocked, and also really sorry to hear about what happened at work… I’m not aware of how things are handled in other countries but here it would be unthinkable to fire someone without warning them before, it’s just really inconsiderate and disrespectful… It’s totally understandable that you’d cry in front of your colleagues and there’s no shame to have about it really! I hope you’ve been feeling better even if the news must be hard to swallow… It’s good to hear though that you’ve found in the novel you’ve been reading a character similar to your situation, I hope it can be a proof to you that crying doesn’t mean you’re weak and doesn’t mean anything about dignity! How have your thoughts been?
Thanks for checking in, take care!
@LinearWaves Thank you for your support, Since that day I have been overthinking during the day and before sleeping. I thought it was a joke and I will return soon to my work, but I return to the reality and realize that I am jobless and loser. I really can't accept the fact.
@LinearWaves
I came close to relapsing again im currently 2 days clean but it gets harder and harder as i get more stressed so kinda bad ig
Cutting urges and music
I learned another song on my guitar today
@unassumingSpruce9514
Hey there ! I’m really sorry to hear you’ve come close to relapsing again and that it gets harder and harder due to getting more stressed… Are there some things that usually help you handle stress? Like distracting yourself, or working out, or journaling, or talking about it and so on, so that you could maybe relax from this stress and avoid the urges?
It’s nice that you’ve learned another song on your guitar! What song is it if you don’t mind me asking? Also does playing the guitar help you fight the urge or lessen the stress?
Thanks for checking in, take care!
@LinearWaves
I learned Rise above this by Seether and i usually play guitar when i get a urge and it helps but at night i cant play bc everyone is sleeping so the urges get worse at night i come here to talk abt it sometimes i used to go to my gf but she is going through something to and i dont wanna add more stress
