Self Harm Recovery Daily Check-in: Saturday, October 3rd, 2020
Hey everyone and happy Saturday! <3 The weekend is here, which means it's technically time for rest but I have so much to do today, so I'll still be productive :(( But I hope I can get ahead today and hopefully save some time to rest tomorrow though! This week has been a very interesting week with everything going on and has been quite overwhelming. The US is still in quarantine (for the most part) and it's easy to loose track of the sparks of joy and color in life :((
Which is why I wanted to make today's theme about finding color and joyful things in your life that you can focus on! I'm going to refrain from using the emojis since they've been glitching out a bit, but imagine a ton of rainbow emojis! To me, finding color in life is finding parts of life that are fun and also bring me a lot of happiness (like journaling! or the pretty sky outside) :)
Check-in questions:
1) How are you feeling today? How has your week been so far?
2) What's something you can do today to add some joy in your life?
3) What's your favorite lip balm scent/flavor?

1) How are you feeling today? How has your week been so far? I'm feeling quite disconnected from myself. I am sad mainly. My week has been challenging, lots of ups and downs.
2) What's something you can do today to add some joy in your life? It's 7pm here, so there is not much day left. I'm making a pizza though, I mean properly baking it :)
3) What's your favorite lip balm scent/flavor? I don't think I have one.
Thanks for the check-in
@whiteTinyFlower
Hey Flower! Thank you for checking in on Saturday with us, I'm really sorry that you've been feeling disconnected from yourself lately and feeling really sad :( Although I don't know the context of your situation that you're in right now, I know it's perfectly okay to feel sad no matter what and I hope this week gets better for you! Pizza making sounds so much fun and I hope it went well, I've been wanting to try that for a while now! Take care and thank you for checking in :)
1) How are you feeling today? How has your week been so far?
Ok I guess. Nowhere near as good as I wanted it to go but o well.
2) What's something you can do today to add some joy in your life?
I don't know joy anymore. I barely recognize it in others.
3) What's your favorite lip balm scent/flavor?
I don't really ever use any and my sense of smell dosent really work so I don't know.
@Flornhope
Hey Florn! <3 I'm sorry that your week didn't go as well as you wanted it to, I think that's very natural to happen and it's okay for it to not quite meet your expectations as planned. It sounds like it's been a hard time these days in looking for joy and that's honestly really relatable and so understandable. It's hard when we're so isolated but I hope the small things are able to get you through the day. your feelings are valid and i hope this week is going better for you and thinks are looking up :)
@TheAtticusFinch Thank you very much. Its hard starting a life from nothing. I know it won't be a overnight thing. I anymore see joy or that sort of thing as icing on a brownie or something. It's nice but it isn't a essential thing. On the up side I start working tomorrow. So I hope I can hack it.
1) How are you feeling today? How has your week been so far?
I'm feeling a lot better than I have this past week. I just had my exams this week, so that was really really stressful, but now that they're over I'm feeling a little more normal.
2) What's something you can do today to add some joy in your life?
Enjoy some good ice cream, and enjoy a good movie
3) What's your favorite lip balm scent/flavor?
I've never really used lip balm, but I think I'd like fruit flavours like grape or strawberry
@honestpanda81
Heya panda! <3 I'm glad that you're feeling a bit better and that your exams are over. I can definitely relate to that feeling of relief once those stressful tasks are over and we get to have some time to ourselves. I'm sure you did great and I'm proud of you! Ice cream and movies sounds like a great way to treat yourself after those exams and I love strawberry/ fruity lipbalms too! I hope you have a great day and thank you for checking in with us :)
@TheAtticusFinch
1) How are you feeling today? How has your week been so far?
Ok. Tired. I had a big drama, which turns out to have been largely in my head... I need to learn to trust others more, cos sometimes I think and act like the people who are really on my side are inevitably going to sabotage me. I was indiscreet about some difficulties I have had with eating to others who don't need to know :( which wasn't super smart. It will be fine, but not best practice...
2) What's something you can do today to add some joy in your life?
I am already planning to meet a friend for Indian food :) And I can listen to some favorite songs cos I have some time in the car today.
3) What's your favorite lip balm scent/flavor?
Um? If I had dry lips I presume I would put Vaseline or some scent less equivalent on my lips in the privacy of my own room, never mention it to anyone and hope it wasn't noticed...
@1morday
Hey Morday! I'm glad that you're learning how to trust others more even though you have some worries about them sabotaging or betraying you. As someone who's been through something really similar, I know how scary that can be and I'm proud of you for trying <3 And it's okay for mistakes to happen, I hope you're not being too hard on yourself for that and I know you'll be okay! That all sounds super fun, I haven't had Indian food for a while and I hope you enjoy the music :) Funny fact, I've never actually used vaseline on my lips before, only lipbalm for some reason haha! <3 Take care :)
