Self-Harm Recovery Daily Check-in: Thursday January 28, 2021
Hello, everyone! It's so nice to be back and doing the check-ins with you all again. I've taken a spectacularly long break from my tasks but finally starting to feel ready to return and get back with what I started. I hope you've all been doing well- I've missed you all! Please help keep me accountable...
1. How are you today? Is there anything you'd like to share with us?
2. What is one goal you have, big or small? It could be a long-term goal or a short-term goal- anything counts!
3. People often say when you say something on repeat for long enough, the more we'll start to believe it. So I'm wondering- what's one word or phrase you could say to yourself today on repeat to fuel and energise you?
Stay awesome everyone, and I'll see you next week! Take care. x

1. How are you today? Is there anything you'd like to share with us?
Today was nice. We had a test tube basically explode in lab today and it kinda triggered me, but thankfully nobody got hurt, so that's great. Given that someone was holding the test tube when it suddenly broke, it's a small miracle that no one got hurt, so phew
2. What is one goal you have, big or small? It could be a long-term goal or a short-term goal- anything counts!
Well, there's always the goal of keeping clean for as long as possible
3. People often say when you say something on repeat for long enough, the more we'll start to believe it. So I'm wondering- what's one word or phrase you could say to yourself today on repeat to fuel and energise you?
I am loved and I can do this
@honestpanda81 Hey :)
Wow! That would have been scary and I can totally understand why that would trigger you. I hope you've been able to calm yourself at least alittle. It's definitely a good thing that noone got hurt!
That's a good goal - one I need to work on as well. I wish you the best - I really understand how hard it is
You're awesome! You can do this!
Be gentle with yourself and your thoughts
@mytwistedsoul
Hey :-)
Thank you ❤️ Yea, I managed to stay calm and continue with the practical, even though I felt shaky on the inside. I wish you the best for working towards that goal too. It might not be easy, but it's worth it, and I want to continue to work on that
You're the best, your kind words made my day :-) Be gentle with yourself and your thoughts too ❤️
@honestpanda81 You're welcome amd thank you for your reply. It made me smile :)
@honestpanda81
Hey, Panda! Very late reply, I'm sorry <3
That sounds very scary :o I remember a similar scenario and it terrified me. I do not like chemistry for that reason haha I hope you feel better re being triggered though. <3 That's a good goal- I hope you have methods and clear reasons as to why you'd like to keep clean. It always helps to know your why and how. That is a great reminder that many of us need to hear as well. Thank you for checking-in!
@rebecca947 Hey - How are you?
1. How are you today? Is there anything you'd like to share with us? Today is alittle better for the time being - I have been struggling with everything lately and failing miserably at times
2. What is one goal you have, big or small? It could be a long-term goal or a short-term goal- anything counts! I need to stop worrying about sharing things. I need to stop being so quiet about everything. Keeping everything to myself and keeping it locked inside is eating away at me
3. People often say when you say something on repeat for long enough, the more we'll start to believe it. So I'm wondering- what's one word or phrase you could say to yourself today on repeat to fuel and energise you? I am enough - Do I have to actually believe it right now? Because thats where the problem is lol. I find repeating I'm safe brings some calmness at times
Thank you for the check in - Take care :)
@mytwistedsoul
Hey Soul! I'm sorry for the late reply! I've been alright, just exhausted lately. I know why though, so that's a plus. I'm glad you were feeling a little better, I hope you can say the same for right now. I don't view anything as failing- just learning opportunities. Failing has a negative connotation, and I don't personally like to use it! Remind yourself that you're doing your best and you're learning from everything that happens.
Those are good goals- I hope you've found ways to go forward toward reaching them eventually. Having a clear set of instructions really helps us on our goals, as well as following the SMART method. I'm glad you know your why of yoru goals though.
You don't need to believe it right now :p repeat it and eventually, you might start believing it. I like that you have found a nice mantra in "I am safe". <3
@rebecca947
1. How are you today? Is there anything you'd like to share with us?
I'm doing pretty well. I've been able to keep dark thoughts at bay, which makes me feel a little happier. 
2. What is one goal you have, big or small?
A small goal I have is getting myself to focus on my homework tonight in hopes of getting in at least one assignment turned in early, so as to have less of a load to worry about for the final day of the deadline. A big goal I have is getting myself out of the toxic environment that I am constantly marinating in, so as to allow myself to heal and become the person I hope to be with less factors holding me back.
3. What's one word or phrase you could say to yourself today on repeat to refuel and energize you?
"No need to be sorry, just work with me a little." (Originally said by my closest friend when he was trying to snap me out of a funk.)
Thank you for the check-in. 
@TheAutumnWitch
Hey, Autumn! I'm sorry for the late check-in reply. I'm happy you were doing great and managed to keep the dark thoughts at bay! It's not always easy to do so, so I highly commend you for that. Keep in mind how you managed to cope and remember that you can do it again <3
How was your assignment go? I like the small goal a lot, that is oftentimes my goal as well. As for your big goal, I'm so glad you can define it and know why you have it. I hope you have ways of doing so and that you know your options. I love that phrase, especially the latter part! :o It sounds like you have a great friend in him x
@rebecca947
No need to apologize, Rebecca! I appreciate the fact that you responded to me, regardless of the time skip. :)
It definitely was not easy this time around, and it keeps on trying to come back and take me by surprise. If anything, my guard is up, so I'm ready for its return. Thank you for that reminder.
The assignment went pretty well! It wasn't as hard as I thought it was, perhaps assisted by my pep talk that I repeated to myself both before and during it: "You can do this. It will suck IMMENSELY, but you can do this." I succeeded in turning it in early, and I think I did an okay job on it. ^_^ I hope so, too, for my big goal.
Yeah, that's one of the many verbal gems my friend has told me, haha. I'm glad I've got him around to deal with all of my craziness.
Thank you for responding to me; I appreciate you!
