Self Harm Recovery Daily Check-in: Wednesday, October 6th, 2020
Hello everyone! <3 Happy Wednesday :) I am doing a Disney themed check-in today about toxicity and recovery hehe!
Today is about toxic/poisonous behavior!
We've all had people act toxic towards us in the past and dealt with them differently. Sometimes they leave us struggling to trust others again and sometimes it teaches us a lot of life lessons! We've also probably been toxic at some point in our lives and that's okay! It's normal, as humans, to make mistakes in our behaviors. However it's hard to forgive ourselves sometimes and oftentimes, forgiving ourselves is an important step in our recovery process <3 Forgiving yourself is a valid and important thing to do! You deserve forgiveness from yourself and others as well.
Check-in questions!
1) How is your day going on a scale of 1-10 and why? :)
2) What can you forgive yourself or someone else for today? <3 How can you grow from the mistakes you've made in the past?
3) What's your favorite meal of the day! :D

1) How is your day going on a scale of 1-10 and why? :)
3 because i just found out one of my rights is at risk because of the Supreme Court :/
2) What can you forgive yourself or someone else for today? <3 How can you grow from the mistakes you've made in the past?
I should forgive my parents for being selfish about something, but it was to personal of a topic that it should not have been kept from me. I don't think i'll forgive them for it.
I can grow by recognizing and admitting to my mistakes and take actions to show my improvement and progress.
3) What's your favorite meal of the day! :D
Breakfast because it's usually the only one i eat. Plus, it gives me energy for the next 15 hours id have working on school
@lydiarklistens
Hey Lydia! <3 Oh noez, I definitely relate so hard with having a really hard day because of US politics. I'm sorry your rights are at risk, I'm a minority so I guess I could say I somewhat get where you're coming from with that impending fear of watching the news everyday. Make sure to take screenbreaks <3 Forgiveness is so hard and I don't blame you for having a bit of a hard time with it. I hope it goes well soon! Knowing where you can improve is important too and I'm proud of you! Oh my, I'm sorry that you only eat breakfast :o and I hope that it gets you through the day! :D Take care and thanks for checking in :)
Hey there ! :)
1) How is your day going on a scale of 1-10 and why? :) For today, I'd say that I'm somewhere sitting next to the scale x) I have no idea of where I am ! It's one of those days where I'm a bit out of it ...
2) What can you forgive yourself or someone else for today? <3 How can you grow from the mistakes you've made in the past? I could forgive myself for all the destructive thoughts that I've had and also for not reaching out for help when I needed it. I forgive others pretty easily, though I could forgive my ex for his attitude at the end of our relationship. Hum I don't quite know yet, but I'd say I'd grow slowly, a bit like a tree, not really noticing the difference one day from another but then when I look back a year later, I've grown new branches and my leaves are greener :)
3) What's your favorite meal of the day! :D Breakfast ! I can't skip breakfast in the morning, best meal of the day :) At the moment, I'm having tea and biscuits :)
@Slizzy564
Hi Slizzy!! <3 Omg your first response of sitting next to the scale is so relatable and having those "out of it days" is so valid right now. I'll be sitting next to you on the scale or I'll sleep on top of it so that you're not alone 🥺But I hope you get back into your vibe soon!! I love your analogy of forgiveness and trees!! That's so beautiful, and all the things that you're trying to forgive yourself and others for sound tough but I know you'll be able to do it eventually and take your time Slizzy 🥺 Ouu yes tea and biscuits sounds so good and I'm glad you enjoy it! Have a great day if you're reading this Slizzy <33
@TheAtticusFinch
Hi there :) Thanks for sitting with me, I enjoy the company :) As for my vibe, seems like it's gone on holiday somewhere, it'll come back at some point ! Have a great day too :) Thanks for your kind words <3
1) How is your day going on a scale of 1-10 and why? :)
Probably a 3 or so. Because my life has fallen apart and in a way that was my plan but now I am actively putting it together instead. But as a real person. Something I never really believed before but I still struggle with sometimes.
2) What can you forgive yourself or someone else for today? <3 How can you grow from the mistakes you've made in the past?
I know I should work on that more. I guess I should forgive them for taking advantage of me and stealing alot of my life. I can probably take more control of my life and gard it closely.
3) What's your favorite meal of the day! :D
Breakfast for sure. But it's hard to beat a nice hot diner after working all day in the cold.
@Flornhope
Heya Florn <3 I'm so sorry that your day is at a 3 and that your life is falling apart right now.. proud of you for still trying to piece it all together. That takes real courage and I'm glad you're able to do that. I'm sorry that others hurt you in the past and took advantage of you.. :(( That's so hard to deal with and forgive, please take your time and I'm rooting for you 🥺awh yeah dinner and breakfasts are hard to choose between!! thank you for checking in :)
@TheAtticusFinch Thank you. I guess if one were to bild a life it makes sense to start at the bottom. And as far as the past goes if it were to happen to someone it might as well have been me. I was able to handle it. Someone else might not have been able to.
@TheAtticusFinch, hey there.
1) How is your day going on a scale of 1-10 and why? :)
I'll go pick the number 7. My day wasn't perfect, but it's good.
2) What can you forgive yourself or someone else for today? <3 How can you grow from the mistakes you've made in the past?
Nothing emotionally bad happens today, so there's basically no one to forgive. On the other hand, I can grow from my mistakes by being careful to my actions. I noticed that most of my mistakes either came from being impulsive or reckless.
3) What's your favorite meal of the day! :D
Lunch is my favorite meal of the day. I'm happier to eat at lunch compare to both breakfast and dinner.
Thanks for the check-in and take care,
@LovelyOrangeJuice
Hey Orange Juice!!<3 I'm glad you've had a good day even if it's not completely perfect. Impulsiveness is natural and I'm glad you're working on growing from your past mistakes. Lunch is a good time of day after some work! :D Thanks for checking in :)
@TheAtticusFinch
1) How is your day going on a scale of 1-10 and why? :)
6, I'm feeling pretty good, but the awful weather is bringing me down a bit
2) What can you forgive yourself or someone else for today? <3 How can you grow from the mistakes you've made in the past?
I want to forgive myself for not standing up to toxic behaviour in the past
3) What's your favorite meal of the day! :D
Dinner, cause I can relax while preparing and cooking it
@Madaraismyspiritanimal
Hi hi! <3 Awh, I'm sorry the whether is bringing you down :( I don't know what weather it is but I hope you get to stay safe <3 Standing up to toxic behavior and abusive behavior is so hard, I don't blame you at all. I'm proud of you for forgiving yourself for that and I'm really sorry you went through that treatment :( Oh yes, cooking dinner can be really relaxing!!
1) How is your day going on a scale of 1-10 and why? :)
7, I'm feeling pretty ok today. I had some fun in class, and even though I'm still stressed out because of school, today was pretty nice
2) What can you forgive yourself or someone else for today? <3 How can you grow from the mistakes you've made in the past?
I can forigve the kids who bullied me. I can forigve the teachers who said terrible things to me out of spite. I can forgive the people who have hurt me, even if unintentionally, in my past. I can forgive myself for not handling all of these things a little better, and for accidentally hurting some people too.
I can let go of all the guilt, shame, and hurt. I can learn to be a better person. I can start living a better life, and focusing on my needs more. I can learn to love myself, and let go of toxic thoughts.
3) What's your favorite meal of the day! :D
All of them, I love food
@honestpanda81
Hi honest! <3 I'm glad you had a good day overall, school stress is so hard though and I relate with that so much. I hope you're able to balance it out soon! Oh my, I'm really sorry that you've been through all of that in the past, that sounds incredibly rough :( You didn't deserve to go through all of that, and forgiving all those people is a really difficult process. Proud of you for trying and proud of you for wanting to let go of the past. Hahah, I love your answer to the last one. All food is great :)
