Self Harm Recovery Daily Check-in : Saturday, September 19th, 2020
Hi everyone! I'm really sorry for the later post for today's check-in! I completely got carried away with school club work and also stuff for classes that I just realized that I never posted for today :(( I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far and is taking the time to relax and practice some self-care. Something that I've been trying to do these days is to try and pick myself up from being sad! It's not really a big deal but I do feel sad from time to time and I remember "picking myself up" to be so hard when I was self-harming a few years ago. I still believe that it's a super important skill to have, especially when we have so much going on around us right now! 
Check-in questions:
1) How are you doing today on a scale of 1-10 and why? (1 being bad and 10 being amazing) Feel free to share anything that may be on your mind!
2) What's your best tip on picking yourself back up from a hard place or from a sad moment?
3) What are your plans for the week :D
4) What's your cafe order? :o (types of coffee, tea, muffins, etc)

1) How are you doing today on a scale of 1-10 and why? (1 being bad and 10 being amazing) Feel free to share anything that may be on your mind!
My day would be a 7. Got into an argument with my mom, but she eventually said sorry. And left my airpod case at someones house so that sucks. But, it is a weekend so i guess that cheers me up.
2) What's your best tip on picking yourself back up from a hard place or from a sad moment?
Remembering how good things were before. Realizing how strong you are to still be standing.
3) What are your plans for the week :D
None lol, just school, school, and moreee school.
4) What's your cafe order? :o (types of coffee, tea, muffins, etc)
Grande caramel frappuccino, warmed coffee cake and a cake pop.
@lydiarklistens
Hey Lydia <3 Thank you for responding to my forum post! I'm sorry to hear that you got into an argument with your mom, I know arguments with family members aren't ever super great but it's great to hear that you both eventually made up! I hope you're able to get your airpods back soon, I could never get through the day without some nice tunes either so I understand the struggle! Ahhh the weekends are always nice after so much school and thanks for that great tip! It's true that we often don't recognize our own achievements that much even though we really should :( Your cafe order sounds so yummy! <3 Thanks for sharing everything and hope this week is going by smoothly so far :)
@TheAtticusFinch
I'm sorry, I'm not like sharing too much today.
1) How are you doing today on a scale of 1-10 and why?
My weekend has been excelent but right now I'm 3
2) What's your best tip on picking yourself back up from a hard place or from a sad moment?
Don't know right now
3) What are your plans for the week :D
Catch up with the classes I've skipped and try to finish my assignments on time. Anyway I'll be alone until friday and I've got a lot of time
4) What's your cafe order? :o (types of coffee, tea, muffins, etc)
Capuccino and something with cream and manjar.
@Kimmkimm
Hey kim!! <3 No worries if you don't feel like sharing much today and I'm really sorry to hear that you weren't feeling great on Saturday when you responded. Some great ways to pick yourself back up on hard spots is to take a few deep breaths and standing up <3 and general healthy coping activities too! :))I wish you the best of luck with your classes and hope the rest of the week goes well for you <3 ☕💖
@TheAtticusFinch
It's been a horrible day today, as I said yesterday at the sharing circle. Lots of flashbacks and shame and regrets and I have no energy to stand up. At least I haven't been at the chat rooms so I don't bother anyone.
From 1 to 10 I'm 1 right now 😭
Heya Atticus! <3
1) How are you doing today on a scale of 1-10 and why? (1 being bad and 10 being amazing) Feel free to share anything that may be on your mind!
Things were great but something happened and Im at a poor 3 right now, Im just extremely pissed that some men are so disgusting and theres basically nothing possible to do about it because theyre also freaking cowards.
2) What's your best tip on picking yourself back up from a hard place or from a sad moment?
Well that question comes at the perfect time...! Im probably going to make myself cookies and eat them all one by one while watching a TV show. Working out also often helps me but Im pretty sore at the moment so its going to be cookies!
3) What are your plans for the week :D
Probably a lot of work, things are getting unstuck so that means lots to do! Plus working out and studying.
4) What's your cafe order? :o (types of coffee, tea, muffins, etc)
Black coffee and blueberry muffins, or banana bread, or cinnamon rolls (or all of that lol)
Thanks for the check-in, I hope youre doing well!
1) How are you doing today on a scale of 1-10 and why? (1 being bad and 10 being amazing) Feel free to share anything that may be on your mind!
Today I feel.....tired and empty. The day started well, but I'ev just been so anxious and afraid. I'm stressed about my exams. And sometimes I just really feel like lying down and never getting up again. I don't know what to do with myself. I wish I were stronger.
2) What's your best tip on picking yourself back up from a hard place or from a sad moment?
I watch videos about social experiments where people express their gratitude to one another or just try being kind to each other. Those always brighten my day.
3) What are your plans for the week :D
Studying, I guess. I desperately want exam season to be over at this point. Not sure what to do with myself until then.
4) What's your cafe order? :o (types of coffee, tea, muffins, etc)
I love a good cheesecake, and maybe some scrambled eggs or an omelet

Im about a 6. Everything is going to be okay. Just there is so much to do. I ate my favorite food last night 😁
2) What's your best tip on picking yourself back up from a hard place or from a sad moment?
Sleep more than normal. Ride my bike if possible. But usually Im too busy to do much more than just get on with my duties. Journaling can help too. And coffee 🙂 and webcomics.
3) What are your plans for the week :D
I have work today, then a performing in a concert with my students. Will do some music for fun. Will spend a day on organizing my room and getting caught up with emails, thank you cards, books to return. Otherwise just work, working out, and self care, getting things done.
4) What's your cafe order? :o (types of coffee, tea, muffins, etc)
black coffee or double espresso. Cos Keto. I drank cappuccinos once upon a time...
I feel rather 6/7, not good, but also not bad. And my order in cafe would be some caramel coffee!
