Self-Harm recovery daily check-in: Saturday July 25th, 2020.
Hi everyone and happy Saturday (as always)! I hope everyone is having a great day so far. I woke up to some startling news and started my day a bit later than usual, which is okay. I have a bit too much on my to do list today- but I'm excited to see what this week brings in terms of opportunities and establishing new friendships!
Let's switch it up a bit and have a ✨news✨theme for today's check in post! Giving people the "news" about my life and listening to the "news" of the lives of others is always so exciting and not to mention that this graphic is so so cute!! Example of the news in my life:
I'm halfway through my Honors English summer assignment, which means I'll need to start my AP European History assignment soon! I'm excited because the assignment seems like something I'm going to enjoy doing (I like history haha).
The stationery from Etsy that I ordered should be coming soon this week! I'm going to decorate a bit of my wall with it and also my journal.
I've been feeling a bit sick physically lately and haven't been able to work out, which really sucks! But I'll hopefully feel better this week and get back to it.
Think of this activity/check in as a way to practice gratitude. A harder challenge is to try to reflect on negative parts of your life and look for positive ways to interpret it. For me, I just tried to take my physical sickness and disappointment in working out to look forward to next week!
Check in questions:

I took a walk today even though im sore from working out yesterday lol
I bought my dog a new rope toy! he loves it!!
I went grocery shopping today it was hard carrying lots of stuff home but we made it! and i played tetris fitting it all into our small fridge
I'm a 7 I'm tired and sore but I'm happy
Hmm my favorite actress is Dakota Fanning it's also my grandmas! 
Have a wonderful day!
@itidc
Hey there itidc!! I'm sorry for the late reply :(( I'm so glad that you took a walk on Saturday!! I need to start taking more walks, I know I don't stand up to move around enough and only stick to my stationery abs/arms/leg workouts so this a good reminder for me! Hope you feel less sore soon, but 7 is a good number for your mood. Ou yayyyy I'm so glad your dog likes his new toy, that must be so adorable to watch lol.. and ou yes, I used to love tetris so much but recently my calculator (that's what I played tetris on) died and I haven't been able to find the charger.. grocery shopping is fun! I don't know who Dakota Fanning is and I just looked her up, I'm surprised I have never seen any of her movies or tv shows, but thank you for sharing that!

Uhm... I have thrown up these last two days, and I can't even understand why. It's only after dinner, and it's weird. I have had a hard time being in the same room as my mom, as she is very controlling and tries to manipulate me to do whatever she wants. So being on vacation with her is a pain. I am going home tomorrow though and then I can stop eating oily foods and just eat salad and the healthy stuff again. I'm really looking forward to that. I'm so glad I have my own apartment now. Good thing I haven't had my blades with me, bc I would definitely have cut, if I had them here. I would do that. But I don't have them here, and I don't wanna cut, so that's all good.
Other than that I feel ok. It's gonna be good to go home and go to the gym again. I have really missed that. Like a lot.
How are you feeling at the moment from a scale of 1-10?
I'm feeling a lot better after a good talk with a dear friend that I had earlier. So around... 6 or 7 maybe?
Who's your favorite actor or actress?
It's uhm... I actually have three of those. It's Helena Bonham Carter, Lana Parrilla and Calista Flockhart. Beautiful and talented women
@TheMadHatterWasHere
Hello MadHatter!! Thank you for responding to Saturday's check in and sorry for the late reply!! :( Oh noez.. I'm so sorry that things have been so hard with vacation and with your health lately.. having to share the same room with your mom must be really hard when she's manipulative like that. I'm sorry to hear that but I'm really glad that you managed to stay safe and didn't bring any sharp objects with you. I think we're similar in the fact that we don't like eating super oily foods and enjoy eating healthier foods + working out! I hope you're able to go do that soon. Glad you were able to talk to a friend, that's always awesome and sadly I don't know any of those actresses, but they seem awesome! Thank you for sharing today :)
Hi again!!! Happy Saturday!

• I love history too!! Recently Ive found out a great history website and Ive been learning lots - particularly ancient and Renaissance history.
• A good friend did something very kind to me and Im honestly really touched! She sent me strawberry flowers (shes an online friend so she sent them through uhh an ‘online courier; basically theres this service on Twitter that lets you send pictures of flowers with a message to anyone!!) ^^ It was very thoughtful and sweet of her, Im grateful 🥺
• Ive been on a writing hiatus for more than half a year now and Im happy to say that I think Im starting to return to write again ^v^
How are you feeling at the moment from a scale of 1-10?
Ive just woken up but Im glad I woke up feeling a 6.5/10!
Who's your favorite actor or actress?
Oh I dont really watch anything so Im not that familiar with the movies/TV shows world :p
Thanks for the check in! Take good care, everyone~
@Hydrangea03
Hey Hydrangea :) Happy late saturday lmao <3 Omg, one of my friends knows a lot about Renaissance history and Renaissance art, which is so cool and I love that you've found a great way to learn about it! Awwhhhh I'm so glad your friend was wholesome enough to do that for you, that's absolutely adorable and I love that so much! :) I'm gonna try and do that for a friend because I'm running out of wholesome things to do for them.. Ahhhh I'm so happy to hear that you're getting back more into writing! I have to do that myself soon.. I've been doing research-based writing this entire time which is good but I want to start learning how to take my writing to another level if that makes sense. I'm wishing you the best with your writing, whatever "type" that you enjoy doing! I hope the rest of your day went well and I honestly don't know many actresses either lol.. have a great day whenever you're reading this Hydrangea!
Renaissance history and art are two of my favorite things - but since Im not able to learn them at school so I have to do it myself, lol! :p
Yes, it was very wholesome of them and I really recommend doing that to/with your friends 🥺
Im glad to have returned to writing too!! Hehe take your time, and good luck to you too!!
Hope youre doing well ^^ @TheAtticusFinch
1. I've been very tired all day today so I wasn't able to get as much work done as I needed to. My eczema flared, I suspect from the stress of little sleep. The good things are that my long insomnia is hopefully over for a little while, I've been too tired to notice mood / be upset by much, and I'll be rested enough to work well on my internship the coming week.
I plan to get my nutrition back on track very soon. It feels daunting with certain circumstances but it's going to help me focus on me and I'm lucky to not have many complications from my history just yet.
Third thing is I'll be santizing my whole bedroom tomorrow. There's so much stuff and I do things slowly. I've been wanting to do a massive bedroom cleaning for a long time though and it doesn't have to be done in one day so it'll probably be fine
2. Maybe a 6. I don't like to feel tired (it's similar to how I feel in depressive episodes) but now the sleepiness is welcome
3. I'm fond of different entertainers at different moments in my life & really depends on how I'm feeling
@Lexloveslife
Edit: wow did not even consider hormone shifts causing the flare my eczema, much more likely than stress from insomnia otherwise it would've flared weeks ago. I really gotta think more before hitting send. Alright g'night or g'morning
@Lexloveslife
Hey Lex <3 I'm sorry that your eczema has flared up, that sounds painful and I'm genuinely sorry that you haven't gotten the chance to get your work done. :( That's always the worst, I hope it gets better this week for you. It looks like you have a lot of good things planned for this week like getting your nutrition back on track and also the internship sounds exciting. Goodluck with sanitizing your bedroom and doing whatever you would like to it! I've seen a lot of trending YouTube videos featuring room makeovers and reading your message reminded me of that haha. <3 I hope your day got better than a 6 that day and continues to go up this week.. and I understand how much it sucks to feel so tired and I tend to switch around with a the few celebrities that I know too! Don't worry about your insomnia/eczema typo (?)! It happens and take care :)
