Self-Harm Recovery Daily Check-in: Friday June 19th, 2020
Hey everyone :D stepping in to the a check-in today and will also do one tomorrow so you all are going to have Atticus posts for three days in a row xD <3 I hope everyone has had a great week! My week went by so quickly... I feel like I was just writing a Saturday post yesterday. Been really busy lately and have been learning how to manage everything along with my own emotions. :)
Let's talk a bit about priorities today! I won't go much into it, but I believe that we often have our priorities set a bit off. We often prioritize others more, which isn't necessarily always a bad thing, instead of ourselves. We also often prioritize schoolwork or other responsibilities instead of our mental and physical wellbeing. This is a gentle reminder that your mental health and physical health comes first! You can't run on an empty engine, so please remember that this week hehe
Check-in questions:
1) Tell me one good thing and what bad thing about your day so far! Feel free to share other things as well and let me know how you're doing :)
2) What are your current priorities in life?
3) What do you want to prioritize more in your life?
4) What's your favorite breakfast food or what do you enjoy having for breakfast?
Take care everyone <3

I don't eat breakfast at all.
@BrokenDreamsPalace
Hey Dreams! I'm so glad you're feeling really happy and found the thing that you were looking for! I hope the happiness stays around and you're still able to figure out the bad stuff you were dealing with before. Being able to function at work is really important and I hope you're able to achieve it next week. And self-care is also super important! I'm glad you're prioritizing that and I hope you're able to do it beyond this week as well. I'm sorry to hear that you don't eat breakfast. That can be sorta unhealthy sometimes so I hope you're still able to stay healthy :) take care and thanks for responding!
@TheAtticusFinch
Hi Atticus! Thanks for the post!
1) Tell me one good thing and what bad thing about your day so far! Feel free to share other things as well and let me know how you're doing :)
Good thing. Still safe from my abuser...day 2! Day 13 clean from cutting! Also my cat is being super cute
bad: work sucked
2) What are your current priorities in life?
Stayinh clean from SH. Healing. Coming to a place where I can be myself and be safe. Helping people (particularly this homeless lady that I'm sponsoring aka feeding and buying stuff for). Finding joy in the everyday. Finally getting back on the ice and resuming training. Healing from abuse and helping others in similar situations
3) What do you want to prioritize more in your life?
sleep, healthy eating, yoga, running, taking the time to truly see and hear people
4) What's your favorite breakfast food or what do you enjoy having for breakfast?
ok I'm trying to eat hardly any calories to lose weight.....but my cravings are haywire.
best breakfast (it's my favourite meal): scrambled eggs with cheese, mushroom, bell pepper, and spinach, topped with salsa. Lots of bacon. Fresh homemade biscuits with homemade strawberry preserves. Fresh spicy sausage. All the fresh fruit, banana, pineapple, cantaloupe, watermelon, kiwi, etc. Coffee. Orange juice. Ang a yogurt parfait.
@FigureskatingEquestrian
Hi Equestrian, I'm so glad to hear that you're safe from your abuser.. that sounds terrifying to live with and I hope you continue to stay safe away from them. Same with self-harm, it certainly sounds like you're going through a lot right now but you're fighting through it all! All of your priorities sound great and I especially like the fact that you want to prioritize hearing and seeing others. That's incredibly relevant right now and I'm trying to do the same too. You prioritizing other mental-health and health-related things like staying clean from SH and trying to exercise more is also incredibly admirable. It takes a lot of will to continue doing those things in such hard times. Omg reading your favorite breakfast items made me drool.. they're so good! I definitely can relate to eating fewer calories thing.. I do it often and it isn't the healthiest but it's okay to treat ourselves once in a while! Thanks for responding and take care :)
1) Tell me one good thing and what bad thing about your day so far! Feel free to share other things as well and let me know how you're doing :)
One bad thing about my day was that I woke up tired. One good thing about my day is that I started it off by journaling.
2) What are your current priorities in life?
journaling, family, and taking care of myself
3) What do you want to prioritize more in your life?
staying organized
4) What's your favorite breakfast food or what do you enjoy having for breakfast?
I love avocado toast, I have it for breakfast for almost a year now.
@Ecargrace
Hey grace <3 starting off the day tired always sucks.. but I'm glad you ended up journaling! I haven't been able to journal my thoughts down for a while and I really need to do that soon so thank you for the reminder. Your priorities sound good! I'm glad you're prioritizing journaling, family, and taking care of yourself. Organization is key, good luck with that. <3 Omg I love avocado toast and I used to have it daily for breakfast too! Thanks for responding and have a great day. :)
@TheAtticusFinch
Hi there, I hope you're doing good !
1) Tell me one good thing and what bad thing about your day so far! Eating my favorite chocolate is the good thing. Being tired and unable to concentrate is the bad thing.
2) What are your current priorities in life? I don't know really, maybe being the mediator for my family so that it doesn't explode.
3) What do you want to prioritize more in your life? I don't know, as in I honestly have no idea what I want to prioritize. I don't even know want I want for today, let alone any type of future.
4) What's your favorite breakfast food or what do you enjoy having for breakfast? Apples, biscuits and a yogurt.
@Slizzy564
Heya Slizzy!! I'm doing well thank you. Oh my chocolate, I haven't had that stuff in a while now and I'm sorry to hear that you've been having trouble concentrating. Sleep problems or stress maybe? :(( I hope you get that resolved soon.. I play the mediator in all the friendships I have, but not family. I understand how that can be pressurizing! Be sure you're taking care of yourself in the process <3 Not knowing what you want to prioritize is okay and very common. Sometimes it helps to take a step back and re-evaluate what you want more of in your life and what you need. :) Your breakfast sounds amazing.. I haven't had apples in a while and that sounds yummy. :) Take care! :)
@TheAtticusFinch
Hi, thanks for your reply <3
Not sleep problems (I'm actually sleeping well which is a nice change), I'm just worn out, tired of the everyday routine, frustrated that I can't voice my opinions and had enough of being lonely. It's pressurizing but it's all I've known for the past 7-8 years, I got used to it. I try to take care, not always easy to know when to stop to take a breath. Maybe someday I'll figure out what I want in life. For the moment I'm not in the right mindset.
Thanks for the check in, take care <3

Hello!!
1) Tell me one good thing and what bad thing about your day so far! Feel free to share other things as well and let me know how you're doing :)
Good thing: The book Im reading at the moment is really, really good and Im totally invested in it! Its nice to me because I could finally pick up a book after a long time of not reading~ I also managed to study (properly!) two chapters today, yay!!
Bad thing: So, reading too much in the same position, it seems, have hurt my neck and back so much :P
2) What are your current priorities in life?
Studying, because this is my last year of high school so Ive got to work hard! Im prioritizing my friends and familys well-being too, very often above my own.
3) What do you want to prioritize more in your life?
Well, sometimes I prioritize my friends and family too much that often I forget to prioritize myself. Im trying to look after myself, because I realize that if I dont take care of myself, its going to be hard for me to take care of the people I love!
4) What's your favorite breakfast food or what do you enjoy having for breakfast?
Haha, just the classic egg with cheese, I think~ I dont really eat breakfast because I cant stomach food in the morning, but in the rare times when I can, I always love to have cheese omelet, maybe with a side dish of hashbrown too~
@Hydrangea03
Hey there! :) Thanks for responding today and I hope your day is going well! I admire you getting into a book for so long! I've been meaning to do that for ages.. I have a list of books that I really need to read but just can't seem to find the time for :( But that does sound like so much fun and it makes sense that you're experiencing some back and neck pain.. get up and take a walk sometime please! <3 xD Ah I totally understand as I do the same thing and prioritize my friends way above myself.. it's tough! It shows that we're both great people that could use a little bit of love for ourselves sometime too :) Your ideal breakfast sounds yummy although I'm sorry you often can't have breakfast in the morning. Take care :)
