Self Harm Recovery Daily Check-in : Tuesday, March 16th, 2021
Hello hello beautiful beings <3
Happy Tuesday ! I hope the week started well for you all. If you're having a hard time, free hugs are available :)
A little quote for today : It's easy to forget how much you have, when your eyes are always fixed on what you have not. - Joe Abercrombie. I know how sometimes it's so easy to forget the positive stuff in our lives because our brain is too busy focusing on the more negative aspects of our existence. It can be a good (but maybe difficult) exercise to try to see the positives in life, even if we can't focus on them, we can at least acknowledge them.
Check in questions :
1) How are you doing today ? Would you like to share something with us ?
2) Can you name 2 or 3 positive things in your life at the moment ?
3) Is there something that you can't perceive at the moment that you would like to see ?

TW! Please do not read this if you know this will affect you.
I'm doing pretty okay. I'm just now trying to settle down my anxiety from my school day. I would like to say that I am trying to stop sh however it's hard to stop. Even though I don't cut myself I still do different methods that are still unhealthy and are hurting myself. My friends are positive things in my life because they are helping me through this and the people here on 7cups are another positive thing in my life because they are also helping me through some rough times. I would like to perceive how the human mind developes or has mental health problems and what mental health problems do the the human brain.

Hi there !
It's nice to hear that you're doing okay. I hope that the anxiety managed to settle down quickly. As for trying to stop self harming, the road to recovery is exactly that : a road. And all roads have bumps and potholes and everything can't be smooth and efficient. I understand the struggle to stop and yes sometimes we do switch one method for another. Though in what you've said, you seem to be aware of your situation and although you may find it difficult to stop, you seem to want to make things better for yourself and that's a very good place to start. Having friends and members/listeners here to support you are indeed positive aspects of your life. I hope that you can lean on them when you need to. Just like you, I would love to know how the brain works all these things out, though I do know that our brains are funny things that sometimes decide to be picky !
Thanks for checking in, take care <3
@Slizzy564, Hi!
1) How are you doing today ? Would you like to share something with us ? I'm fine. I will share something random today. Enough affection is also needed for a baby to survive. Last time, I read a story in Quora that talks about an experiment with babies and affection. It's cruel, but an interesting read.
2) Can you name 2 or 3 positive things in your life at the moment ?
Last week, I bought a mobile game for the first time. Today, I ate a healthy food that I dislike - a tomato, Both situations are considered my achievements in life. :D
3) Is there something that you can't perceive at the moment that you would like to see ?
Yeah. It's an important task. I have no idea how to handle it.
Have a nice day!
@SnippyHam
Hey !
Good to hear that you're doing well ! Interesting random fact, I did read somewhere that babies needed affection for them to develop properly. I should imagine that a study about this topic would be hard to read but yes it does seem pretty interesting. Did you learn some new things ?
Oh sweet ! What did you buy ? Congrats on eating the healthy food especially if you don't like it ! Seems pretty legitimateto consider them acheivements :)
Oh sounds like something serious. I hope you find a way to deal with it. Maybe giving oneself some time to think things through can be a good strategy, though I don't know if it can be applied to your situation.
Thanks for checking in, I hope you have a nice day too, take care <3
@Slizzy564, Thanks for your reply!
Yes. I won't suggest to read the whole story to those who have a soft heart. The end result of the experiment was disastrous for the babies. Right now, I learned that my brother ended up liking most of the anime I have watched. We surprisingly shared similar taste.
The game I bought was Geometry dash. It's challenging even though the instruction is simple! In the end, I would probably procrastinate in my task. Fuhuhu.
@SnippyHam
I could imagine that the study wasn't in favour of the babies sadly ...
Oh that's a nice thing to discover ! Had you suggested some of the anime or is it pure coincidence ?
Oh right ! I'm not much into games at the moment, but as long as you're enjoying that's all that matters :)
Ah procrastination is hard to deal with, I hope you find a way around it soon !
@Slizzy564
It's pure coincidence. He watched the downloaded anime series I shared with him because of slow internet connection. It's amazing that he likes it. :)
See you next time! :D This was a nice conversation.
