Self-Harm recovery daily check-in: Saturday August 29th, 2020
Hi everyone and happy Saturday! This week was my first week of school and I am officially exhausted! It's been a rough week but it's more important than ever to be taking time for ourselves and checking in with how we're feeling and doing and coping with whatever is happening around us. Our brain has been working hard all week to keep us going and the weekend should be a time to relax and take care of ourselves before we have to get back up again!
Check in questions:
How was your week? Were you busy or was it normal? Feel free to vent about anything that's on your mind :)
What can you do for yourself this weekend to relax and reset a bit?
What's your favorite artwork? Mine is by an artist called Mienar :)

My week has been terrible, setting up a ton of doctors appointments and getting this extremely terrible diagnosis i was not expecting to receive when I looked at my medical papers. Like I already accepted I was psychotic but I didn't see myself as intellectually disabled but apparently I am that. So.. yay? I have that too? They removed the possibility of autism which my family to this day still raves about how I have autism, although it was finalized that it's not autism only "autistic like behaviour" My social anxiety disorder was ruled out by schizophrenia. autism was replaced with intellectual disability and I have cerebral palsy present at birth. So dude, I'm a triple threat here. I have a physical disability, a mental illness, and freaking gosh darn intellectual disability too. What the heck! Although this diagnosis does make a lot of sense and it explains a lot of my struggles so I do tihnk it's extremely accurate to me personally based on my symptoms and what i display. It's kinda like I got delayed around 10-13 for some reason so mentally im stuck around this level of development. I have most of the impairments listed according to my age level.
What can you do for yourself this weekend to relax and reset a bit?
Well sleep is needed for sure, I really need some good sleep. I barely slept. i barely ate. But im eating. This diagnosis just really threw me into a loop here.
What's your favorite artwork? Mine is by an artist called Mienar :)
I like Masa Works Design... Also those chinese folklore images.
@ShadowTag
Hi shadow!! <3 I'm really sorry to hear that you had a bad week.. that diagnosis must have been really hard to hear and I'm genuinely so sorry that you have to deal with all of that now. I think society places a lot of labels on people who are different, and that can create a lot of unwanted stigma on the individual like you :/ that's incredibly unfair and genuinely not your fault at all nor is it in your control. You're not a "triple threat", you're a beautiful human being who has struggles that are a bit harder than the usual person but that doesn't make you any less human and any less deserving of care. I care about you and your well being no matter what, and I think it's important to have that compassion for yourself too 🥺 I hope you get the time to heal from that and to get some rest in. I know that's hard right now but it's more important than ever to take care of your body and mind. You deserve nothing but the best ok? 💖🥺
Well done for finishing your first week of school! I hope you can get plenty of well-deserved rest!
How was your week? Were you busy or was it normal? Feel free to vent about anything that's on your mind :)
It was a busy week, but good busy since my work payed off! After 4 fails I finally got my experimental conditions right on one project, and crossed a hypothesis off for another project, so that's two projects getting unstuck!
What can you do for yourself this weekend to relax and reset a bit?
I managed to do most of my work so I won't start next week with pending work to do! But other than that, some sports, chilling, watching videos, taking my time! And not too much of studying but I don't need to force myself on that one haha!
What's your favorite artwork? Mine is by an artist called Mienar :)
Oh Mienar's art looks great, thanks for sharing! I really like Heikala's artwork, and AlbaBG (@albabbgg) and I think I could actually make a super long list, they all have such an unique style that it's hard to pick a favourite!
Take care ❤️
@LinearWaves
Hi linear <3 Ahhhh thank you for the praise and I didn't get much rest over the weekend but working on it! That's super great that your work paid off and that you got two projects crossed off?! Super proud of you omg! Super glad to hear that you've been taking time to rest, it's definitely so well deserved and I think I need to learn from you! and thank you for sharing Heikala's art, I just looked it up and it's so pretyyy<3 take care and have a good week linear <3

listen to music
What's your favorite artwork? Mine is by an artist called Mienar :)
i dont really have a favourite piece of art butmy favourite artist is vincent van gogh
@dynamicOrange4965
Hi orange <3 I feel where you're coming from- school was undeniably difficult and hard for me as well and I promise you that you're not the only one who feels that way and you're not the only one who feels so overwhelmed.🥺Those feelings are extremely valid and I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through them, but I wish you the best of luck with getting through and persevering. Taking some time to relax and listening to music that you enjoy listening to can be helpful too <3 I'm learning about Van Gogh a bit in my history class!

For me pretty good, little less busy than previous weeks, cause one of my counsellors is on vacation
What can you do for yourself this weekend to relax and reset a bit?
Draw a bit(still gotta sit down and do so, but I'm easily distracted by other things)
Ride my bike
What's your favorite artwork? Mine is by an artist called Mienar :)
Hard to pick a favorite. I have one I don't remember the name or artist of 😔. It's a surreal painting I tried to recreate in art class once, but using a different medium
Another one I like is a bit silly, Room full of vampires by Julia Lepetit. It was created from the outer shape as a start.

@Madaraismyspiritanimal
Hi Madara! <3 Thank you for responding <3 I'm glad that you had a bit better of a week and that you weren't as busy! <3 We all need those weeks haha and I wish you the best of luck with drawing. I have really wanted to get back into drawing and stuff like that lately to relax and I hope writing this will motivate me to actually go do it. Surrealist paintings are so cool :o we talked about them a bit in history this week since we're learning about European art stuff :P thanks for sharing that image- it's definitely an art style that I haven't seen and super interesting!
Hi friends!! Im sorry for being late to the check in! Ive also been taking a break for a while but now Im back~
Also, Atticus, first days of school are always so exhausting, I get you!! Ive had mine in July and it was :) anyway I hope you can get used to stuff soon!
How was your week? Were you busy or was it normal? Feel free to vent about anything that's on your mind :)
So busy :( There are just lots of (school) stuff to do, I had wanted to write this thing Ive been meaning to write for MONTHS but alas...no time.
What can you do for yourself this weekend to relax and reset a bit?
Lol, I really wang to take a nap, I hopefully can have one tomorrow! ^^
What's your favorite artwork? Mine is by an artist called Mienar :)
I really love Claude Monets artwork, especially Water Lilies (its a collection)!!
@Hydrangea03
Hey Hydrangea!! <3 don't worry about the late check in- i'm sorry about the late reply! I'm glad that you got to take a break and I hope it all went well. Thank you for relating to me, my mood last week was for sure just " :""") " haha! Ahhh I definitely feel you, I've been saying the phrase that starts with me wanting to do something but ending with "..but I have no time" for months now and it's just so frustrating!! I think it takes a lot of true discipline to put aside time for ourselves and to force ourselves to do things we want to do. It honestly can be so much more challenging than you think but I'm 100% sure you're capable of doing it and you feel so much better afterwards!! <3 Anyways- thank you for sharing the artist Cthelaude Monet, I looked through his work and it's definitely so prettyyy ah! Go nap :P <3 take care!
