Self-Harm Recovery Daily Check-In: Wednesday, August 12th, 2020
Heya amazing people and happy Wednesday!
After inspiration leading to changes whether theyre big or small, its important to celebrate our progresses and victories. Celebrating victories, the big ones but most importantly the small ones, is a good way to acknowledge the progress were making, its like milestones along the road. And yes, the road to recovery might be long and tedious, but seeing that were passing milestones one after another can make it more rewarding and encourage us to keep going. So lets acknowledge our victories and celebrate them! I'm really proud of you for all the hard work you're doing!
1) How are you feeling?
2) How is your week going so far?
3) What are your latest victories? (they can be really simple, like my very latest victory was to wash the dishes right away for once instead of letting them pile up)
4) How could you reward yourself for these victories?
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

Hey hey :) I'm loving these themed check-ins ;)
1) How are you feeling? In between, not in a bad mood but kinda irritated ! Haven't done my yoga today, I'll try and do at least a bit before I go to bed !
2) How is your week going so far? So far so good ! Work is a pain because of the heat but it's busy (good kind of busy) and I'm keeping myself occupied in the evenings ! A bit more sleep would be appreciated though !
3) What are your latest victories? Launching the dishwasher before work, finally doing the food shopping (that was a tough one !), starting yoga, not giving in to anger when my ex reached out, finding/rediscovery coping mechanisms .. You know there are more victories than I thought ...
4) How could you reward yourself for these victories? I bought some chocolate when I went shopping ;)
@Slizzy564
Hey Slizzy! I know right? This is pretty cool :p
It's good to hear you're not in a bad mood, but I hope that the irritated feeling can leave soon enough, either thanks to yoga or chocolate!
I don't know about you but it's finally starting to get a bit fresher here! Only a bit but it's a start! I hope it can help making work less of a pain and getting more sleep, as I'm guessing the sleep part must not be helping for work?
These are plenty of lovely victories! It's crazy how many victories we can spot if we want, they may look simple but they really add up and can make the day much better if we let them! I'm really proud of you for all these meaningful victories, especially not giving in to anger and working on coping mechanisms, plus that annoying food shopping!
Enjoy that chocolate, thanks for checking in!
@LinearWaves
It's sooo cool :)
The irritated mood is better now thanks :)
Yeah here too ! I'm so glad ! And yeah it'll make work better :) Oh the sleep isn't helping anything, my brain is all mushy like this evening I spent 15min searching for a shirt that I was wearing ... That one did make me laugh quite a bit !
I know right ? It's comforting in a way, I may still be stuck by the side of the road but I'm making a success of it ;)
Fear not chocolate will be enjoyed ! :)

1) How are you feeling?
Basically fine - a little tired.
2) How is your week going so far?
Good, on the whole.Few self-care things need more attention (sleep and one or two others starting to slip...)
3) What are your latest victories? (they can be really simple, like my very latest victory was to wash the dishes right away for once instead of letting them pile up)
I did something ealy yesterday rather than leaving it for this morning. If I leave it, it always hangs over me and stresses me out. Also I stayed on diet :)
4) How could you reward yourself for these victories?
I hope its not cheesy to say, the sense of balance and control from staying on top of things is sufficient reward. I don't feel the need for anything special over an above that.
@1morday
Hey there! It's great to hear you're feeling fine although a little tired, and even better to hear that you're taking that into consideration and realising that sleep and other things slipping need more attention. I hope you can use the end of the week to adjust all this!
Congrats on those victories! As for your reward, its definitely not a cheesy thing to say! It's very true that often, just the fact doing that thing instead of leaving it for later for example, it relieves some stress and it's an amazing reward in itself! Same for feeling in control and balanced, they may actually be the best rewards as they come from inside you know?
Thanks for sharing, take care and keep up the amazing work!
@LinearWaves
1) How are you feeling?
Great! I'm not as irritable as before.
2) How is your week going so far?
It's great as well. I'm quite new in this website, yet it actually brightens my day even though I only use it for the forums. x)
3) What are your latest victories?
I completed a mobile game called Fractal Space last month. It feels so satisfying to complete something 100%
Additionally, I also considered participating in forums an achievement as well. Because, I find it hard to express my feelings in real life.
4) How could you reward yourself for these victories?
Oh! I have a lot of rewards I can think of for these victories. Jumping for joy, laughing, sleeping, eating something sweet, and anything my mood desires. It depends. Haha.
Thanks for reading!
@LovelyOrangeJuice
hey there! It's great to hear you're feeling great and not as irritable as before! Do you think something helped you feel less irritable? (so that it can be remembered and used in the future if you ever feel irritable again!)
It's really nice to hear 7cups brightens your day! I'm glad to hear you're feeling comfortable in the forums and that it's helping, you're welcome on here, we're glad to have you!
Oh I get you! It's definitely super satisfying to complete something! Congrats on that! And I'm proud of you for participating in the forums, especially since it's not easy for you to express your emotions in real life, it's great that you're able to do so on here!
These are all lovely rewards! I like jumping for joy, that sounds like a great reward, I should do it more often!
Thanks for checking in, take care!
