Self-Harm Recovery Daily Check-in: Saturday August 22nd, 2020
Hi everyone <3 Happy Saturday!! I realize I haven't been able to respond to last week's check-in questions as of now (I'm writing this on Thursday) but I hope I will be able to tomorrow and I apologize for all the late replies! Life has been so busy and I finally got the time to relax a little bit tonight and wanted to write this in advance as well!
Life is starting to get busy for a lot of students and that means remembering to find balance between taking care of multiple things like your academics, your mental health, your social life, and more. I wanted to take a moment to check-in with everyone and check if we've all found a balance within ourselves today and set an intention to find balance in things this week!
Check-in questions:
1) How are you doing? Feel free to share whatever is on your mind!
2) In what ways can you find more balance and peace in your life right now?
3) Set an intention for the week, what would you like to focus on more?
4) What's your favorite song right now?

Hey there :) Hope you're doing okay and finding your balance at the moment :) <3
1) How are you doing? Feel free to share whatever is on your mind! Good and bad, I mean I've been enjoying the weekend as I really needed a breather after this week but also family issues are strong at the moment. It's hard to not get caught up in it as I'm (as usual) stuck in the middle ...
2) In what ways can you find more balance and peace in your life right now? To be honest with you, I don't know. Maybe not the best way to gain balance but I feel that sharing my concerns could be a good way to get things off my chest and take the weight off my shoulders.
3) Set an intention for the week, what would you like to focus on more? Journaling ? I've been posting stuff I've written in the forums and I want to copy it all in my journal. Well it's not really a journal just a place where I write my thoughts, collect songs lyrics, stuff like that :)
4) What's your favorite song right now? I've been listening to metal recently (don't ask me why I just feel like it), one of my favorites is Over the hills and far away by Nightwish.
Take care <3
@Slizzy564
I haven't listened to Nightwish in aaaaages! I had almost forgotten how good some of their songs are!
Sending good thoughts!
@Slizzy564
Slizzyyy <3 I am finding balance right now hehe- thank you for wishing me that :)) awh no.. I'm sorry to hear that you're stuck in the middle of family stuff and I empathize with that so much <3 It's going to pass soon (hopefully) and it'll all be okay, you got this and keep sticking in there 🥺sending you my best wishes for your family issues but I'm glad that you've been taking time for yourself and stuff this weekend. You definitely deserve it more than anyone <3 It's okay to not know exactly how to find balance right now, it's good that you're considering sharing your thoughts and stuff and we're always here for you 🥺Journaling your incredible forum posts sounds like a fantastic idea and I'm all for that!! I have no idea what metal music is like but it sounds like Linear does hehe <3 take care slizzy and again I'm sorry to hear that things aren't the best at home🥺big huggos for slizzy from atti !
@TheAtticusFinch
Awww thank you so much for your kind words, they are truly appreciated :) Thanks sweetie <3
Thanks for this important reminder! Much needed! I hope your own balance is doing okay :p

@LinearWaves
Hi Linear <3 The lil message "I hope your own balance is doing okay:p" sent me laughing for no reason even though I know it wasn't intended to be sarcastic or anything xD I just started laughing a bit for really no reason but thank you for the lil laugh!! But anyways I'm really really sorry to hear that this week went a bit wrong for you and that you feel really disappointed in your research not going the way you planned it to.. that's not your fault at all and it's so valid to feel that way when you really tried your best on something 🥺I really relate to that on so many levels and I think it's really human for you to feel frustrated as well *hugs* I think finding balance is unique for everyone and if that means picking things up later and resting on it for now, that's okay and perfectly valid <3 I hope the rest of the week goes better for you and that you get to study soon <3 I'm listening to the song you recommended right now and I gotta say, it's very interesting :o take care linear and I'm sorry again for the research not working out *hugs*

Hey plumeria! ;)) <3 Yayyy I'm really glad that you got to visit your friend and that you are trying to balance your friendships better! I can definitely relate to that and I feel like I need to do that as well, so we're on this journey together for sure! Ahhhh yes sleep is so important for our mental health. I'm listening to that song right now! Remind me to pm you what I think :))
