Self Harm Recovery Daily Check-in: Wednesday October 14th, 2020
Hihi, everyone! <3 I'm sorry for the rather later post for the day. I was going to make it earlier this morning but had a club event come up that I hadn't placed in my calendar D: Completely my bad but it's been a busy day as usual for me :o I hope everyone is getting some self-care and self-compassion in!
Today's theme: frustration
Frustration can come up in a lot of different ways throughout our days. Whether it's your boss at work who is being quite annoying or the deeper frustration of not being able to cope well with your mental health, frustration is evident everywhere in our lives and it's a very valid feeling. The way we all cope with frustration is different and can range from healthy to unhealthy coping methods. We can always try to move towards the healthier coping methods as much as possible, but it's important to forgive ourselves and accept that frustration with mental health is really hard to battle and it's valid to struggle <3
Check-in questions:
1) How is your day going? <3
2) What were some frustrating things that happened today or this week that you would like to vent about?
3) How do you personally deal with frustration?
4) What's your favorite video game?
Take care everyone and have a great rest of your week! :)

@TheAtticusFinch
1) How is your day going? <3
Good, hope things workout good for you too.
2) What were some frustrating things that happened today or this week that you would like to vent about?
Frustrating experiences with YouTube video segmenting URL tools. They don't always work. Arg!
3) How do you personally deal with frustration?
Expect things won't work, then be happy if they do, but not overly disappointed if they don't.
Also, remember to test things first to make sure they are working.
Be cautious.
4) What's your favorite video game?
Below is my favorite video game, that is also a video.
You just... Enter this MAKE-BELIEVE VIDEO GAME WORLD using the video link below.
You do it by... Standing up and watching the video. Copy all the movements exactly. Go fast!!!
Modify any movements if needed to suit you.
Tip: You don't need to "Hit any Buttons".
Just watch and copy all the movements. Go fast!!!
@7motivation
Hi 7! Thank you for checking in and I'm glad you're doing well! Sorry that those URLs were a bit wack for you, I hope you got those sorted out eventually! Ah yes, having healthy expectations is really important and I love that you brought that up! That's a very interesting video and I'll be sure to check it out soon! <3 Take care and have a great day!
1) How is your day going? <3
It was fine. Lots of running around and uncertainty.
2) What were some frustrating things that happened today or this week that you would like to vent about?
I don't have appropriate gear or tools or vehicle.
3) How do you personally deal with frustration?
I just keep going.
4) What's your favorite video game?
I'm not up on all the new games. But I can play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for the rest of my life.
@Flornhope
Hi Florn! <3 Uncertainty is tough, I hope nothing too bad happened and that you're doing okay. I'm sorry that you don't have a vehicle, that's must be really frustrating and I'm really proud of you for still trying to push through! That takes a lot of courage and strength and I'm proud of you.🥺I used to play Grand Theft auto when I was a kid and it was a very fun game! Take care <3
@TheAtticusFinch Thank you
1) How is your day going? <3
My day has been going pretty well. I'm trying to make a more conscientious effort to keep track of my emotions and episodes. I really want to get better, and I even though it's been a long journey, I'm going to keep going.
2) What were some frustrating things that happened today or this week that you would like to vent about?
I've had to sleep late for the past few days because of a group project. That's really frustrating because I'll be tired and I'll have a headache the next day. It's not anyone's fault, because we need to spend the time doing the work, but it's frustrating to have to lose sleep over this.
3) How do you personally deal with frustration?
I usually try to focus on the positive side of things, and focus on the things that I'm grateful for. I try to remember that every obstacle is a chance to learn, and I can always learn to do and be better.
4) What's your favorite video game?
I've never really played video games, but I think Mario kart looks really fun
@honestpanda81
Hi Panda <3 I'm really proud of you for trying to keep track of your emotions, that's really smart of you and can be so helpful! You seem like such a resident person for keeping at it with keeping your mental health stable. I know personally that it takes a huge effort to do that and you should be proud of yourself!! I hope you get some rest soon, I understand how frustrating it can be to have so little sleep and have to go through the entire day feeling tired. That frustration is valid! <3 That sounds like a good mindset and Mario kart sounds fun! Take care :)
