Self Harm Recovery Daily Check-in : Tuesday, September 15st, 2020
Hello hello beautiful beings ! <3
Happy Tuesday !! I hope the week started off well for all of you :) If not, I'm sending positive energy and hugs your way <3
So I'm kinda geeking out about a song that uses the metaphor of a back door to describe that authentic part of yourself, that safe place where you can be just you and surround yourself with all the things that make you happy. I really like the idea of it being hidden behind the 'back door', if people really want to discover that part of you they have to look for it in order to find it. And you never know someone might come knocking on your back door wanting to be let in ;)
Check in questions :
1) How are you doing today ? Feel free to share whatever's on your mind :)
2) What would your back door look like ?
3) What is hidden behind your back door ? What gives you positive energy ?
Song recommendation of the day : Back Door by Stray Kids

@Tyedyedbutterfly65
that's a beautiful description of a door! your garden sounds like my grandma's backyard, i bet it would be lovely in there : )
@mollyviolet12 Thank you and I bet your grandmothers is beautiful...
I do have my own flower beds and bushes and trees and more all around my home and I love Butterfly Bushes the most because they attract the Bufferlies..
Rose of Sharon Bushes in Pink and in White are all around they came with the house when we moved here in April.. along with Lilies and Hostas , Roses and mamy others . We have added more because I love flowers so much.
I have always wanted a stained glass window where the sunshines through .. I may get one added in my bathroom there is a big window in the bathroom why I have no clue lol and a door to the outside ? lol I actually like the door but the Window stays closed so maybe add stain glass there.. Just a thought

@Tyedyedbutterfly65
Hey there :) Thanks <3
Nice to hear that you're doing good :) It's soothing to be in our little world now and again :) Sometimes not doing anything is great, just chilling out and enjoying simple things. Sounds positive ! Hope you enjoy your movie. Which one are you planning to watch ?
Oh wow yeah stained glass sounds so cool ! I hope you get to put on in one day :) And you seem to know your plants well, lovely garden you've got there :) Reading your post filled me with butterflies, such pretty descriptions and positivity :)
Hum what kind of statues if you don't mind me asking ? :) Three solid sources of energy there <3
I checked the song out, very soulful ! I love singers with unique voices that make you go to places when they sing <3 Thanks for the recommendation !
Thanks for checking in, take care <3
@Slizzy564 Thanks for your feedback and replying asking me questions about what I shared
I stick with movies that are not scary lol
I love all kinds of statues as long as they are respectful and have some kind of meaning or some that are just cute..
I do love flowers yes and plants, trees etc.. I like to plant a variety and watch them grow and bloom..
Thanks, Tye
@Tyedyedbutterfly65
Hey no problem ! Thank you for answering :)
Aaaah I don't enjoy scary movies either, so I'm with you on that one !! :)
You know it's been ages since I've seen an interesting statue ! Some do seem to stand out don't they ?
Sounds great !! Please give me your secret receipe because I'm terrible with plants, they always die x)
1. i'm doing okay. i read a really good graphic novel called laura dean keeps breaking up with me!
2. my door would be wooden and round, with a window in the middle (basically a hobbit door lol).
3. i think behind my door would be a little spot in the middle of the woods, since nature fills me up with positive energy. i'd have a campfire and a lil tent with cozy lights and pillows and books inside : ) i love thinking about having my own little secret spot. these are great questions!
song recommendation: candle by cavetown
@mollyviolet12
Hello hello :)
I'm happy to hear that you're doing well :) Oh ? What's the novel about ? :)
A nice good solid door then :) Would you like to be a hobbit then ? Or do you just want to borrow their skills for door making ? :)
Oh that sounds lovely ! I really enjoy being in the woods too so I can relate to your little secret spot :) Since you mentioned a tent, do you go camping ?
I've checked your song recommendation :) I like the way the song progresses, starts of pretty calm then slowly builds up :) I enjoyed it, thanks :)
Thanks for checking in, take care <3
#1 Today was stressfull. I just want to collaps close my eyes and escape. I won't because I'm scared of were my mind will go.
#2 My back door would have hedges leading up to it and two willow trees curving around the top like a delicate frame. Wooden with some beautifull carvings chisled in the front. Like an elvish garden path.
#3. I would start with a brick fireplace in the corner with an elagent desk across from it. A steal string guitar would sit slightly of to the side along with some sheat music and a chair. Next to the fire place would be an armchair were i could whittle and a stack of wood to feed the fire.A cot with a bookshelf and nightstand would occupy the remaining wall. Nothing fancy but peacfull.
@Helpme10
Hi there !
I'm so sorry to hear that you had a stressfull day. I understand that you don't want to collapse right now and being scared of the way your brain is going to deal with this. I hope you manage to get some rest soon and recharge those batteries <3
Oh your back door sounds real pretty ! Very detailed and neat then ? I have to say wooden doors with carvings look so cool :)
Hum sounds cozy ! I don't know if that's the vibe you were going for but that's what it feels like to me :) Do you play the guitar ? As for 'nothing fancy but peaceful', I strongly believe that happiness can be found in very simple things so I get you on that :)
Thanks for checking in, take care <3
@Slizzy564
Yes I would keep it tidy and neat. I'm a perferctionist to the point that my brother makes fun af me saying I have OCD.
I do play the guitar. I'm mostly self taught and have had about 10 lessons so I'm not very good. The guitar is my favourite instrument. I find it calms my mind. Personally I prefer steal strings to nylon. They have a crisper tone to them.
@Helpme10
Oh a perfectionist ? You know I admire people like you, who put in the effort to make everything look good. It must be really tiring though ...
Congrats to you for teaching yourself ! Any hobby, inlcuding playing the guitar, doesn't mean that we have to be good at what we're doing. As long as you're enjoying yourself that's all that matters :) Music does have that funny way of calming our minds :) As for strings, I didn't even know that different strings made different sounds though now that you say it, it seems pretty obvious. I never thought of that, thanks for sharing :)
@Slizzy564, hey there. :)
1) How are you doing today ? Feel free to share whatever's on your mind :)
I'm good because I made progress in my school work.
2) What would your back door look like ?
Other answers here are great. It's descriptive. x) Mine is a simple rectangular brown door with a digital door lock. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of door do you like?
3) What is hidden behind your back door ? What gives you positive energy ?
An extravagant bedroom! The bed gives me positive energy and it's also my best friend. The comfier, the better. It's the ideal place for me to hang out after a tiring day. :D
Thanks for the check-in and take care.
@LovelyOrangeJuice
Hey there ! Good to see you :)
Yay for the school work progress !! Keep up the good work :) Did you manage to do that video that you mentioned the other day ?
I know right ? To be honest, I wasn't quite sure if people would get the idea of the check in but it seems to have inspired quite a few of you so that's great :) You know simple is very effective too ! And anyway it's your door so you're free to make it how ever you want ;) Does the digital door lock mean that you don't want a lot of people coming in ?
What kind of door I like or what would my back door look like ?
Oh yeah that bedroom sounds great !! I have to admit, my bed is a very good friend of mine too ;) Going to bed after a hard day and just melting into the mattress and pillows is heaven :)
Thanks for checking in, take care too <3
@Slizzy564, Thanks. It's nice to see you too.
Honestly, the schoolwork I'm talking about is that video. I have a terrible habit of slacking off. Luckily, that activity is the last one for my current semester. x)
Yeah, I don't want people to barge in my secret bedroom.
I meant, what would your back door look like? :D
Yes! You love the bed as well!
@LovelyOrangeJuice
Good luck with that ! I'm bad with procrastinating so I can't really help you out there, sorry !
My back door ? I think it'd be something like a hidden door behind a book case or something. Made out of wood for sure. But it'd be pretty old with rusty hinges and you'd have to put in effort if you want to get it to open. Though if you're lucky you'll find just the right book to trigger the lever to open it.
Hiiiii, your post is very awesome! <3 Can I save that picture you used to the post as my wallpaper? Thank you in advance!
1) How are you doing today ? Feel free to share whatever's on your mind :)
I am doing today better! I actually just made the stuff and I am trying to inspire myself by Batman universe and music from the different games. BTW, any Bat-fan here? :D
2) What would your back door look like ?
My backdoor would be teal blue, straight, simply, with big windows and with normal stuff-to-open (klamka in Polish, I am so sorry for my English - it's lacking sometimes).
3) What is hidden behind your back door ? What gives you positive energy ?
Behind my backdoor there is a very mighty and powerful Wish Granter (like the one in Stalker games XD): my own human will. And my dreams, my inspirations like music, art, deviantart paintings I love to admire!
@inventiveAcai3503
Hey there :) Thank you so much ! Means a lot when you guys appreciate the posts :) As for saving the picture, feel free, it isn't mine, I borrowed it from pinterest ;)
Great to hear that you're doing better ! Oh you love Batman then :) I'll admit that I'm not very familiar with the universe though x) What do you enjoy in this universe ? :)
Oh ? I love teal blue ! Actually I like any shade of blue but that's not the topic of the check in x) Sounds nice, simple but still pretty :) (No worries about your english ! As long as we understand you, it's fine :) )
I had never heard of a Wish Granter before, so I've just looked it up ! Sounds intriguing and mysterious, I like the idea :) Having a place full of dreams and inspirations sounds lovely :) What music and art do you enjoy ? :)
Thanks for checking in, take care <3
@Slizzy564 I enjoy the unexpected plots in the universe and way of creation of villains :D I loved especially Batman games! I highly recommend them to you, they are very Bat-volving into plot and very good translated in different languages!
Yes, the Wish Granter is very mysterious stuff in the games of STALKER, and plays very impawtant role in the plot - no spoilers though :D I enjoy so much a lot of postapo, tech-inspired style of games, the plots and mysterious legends, based on real history. Hope we will have some of our wishes granted in the future o/ love you, take care! <3
@inventiveAcai3503
Aah you've gotta love a good villain now and again ;) I'll admit I've never played a batman game ! If given the chance, I might give it a try ;)
Yeah sounds really interesting ! But please no spoilers ;) Hum I admit that games based on legends and stuff seem to be pretty good though I've never really had the chance to play them. I mean I don't play much at all so that's most of the problem x) Do you play a lot ?
