Self-Harm recovery daily check-in: Saturday June 18th 2020.
Hi everyone and happy Saturday! I hope everyone had a great week. I've been extremely busy with self-studying and also volunteering for a research and text team this week. Been getting little sleep but overall really happy with everything I'm doing and vibing it out!
I don't have much of a theme today besides some affirmations. Affirmations are powerful positive reminders that are facts about ourselves and the world around us as well. I really believe in affirming others because it gives others a sense of validation and affirming others also gives us a chance to affirm ourselves as well! Affirmations can be about anything from our body image, our personality, or even the things we say.
List of positive affirmations for your Saturday😃
"I am doing the very best I can right now and that's what matters"
"I am proud of myself for what I've accomplished so far and I'm proud of myself no matter what."
"I'm better than I was yesterday and I will continue to improve myself in a healthy way."
"Yesterday is in the past and I will let that be."
"I'm learning to respect and honor myself and will continue to do so everyday"
Check-in questions:

I like these affirmations.
1) Update me with how your week went and update me with how you're feeling! Feel free to share anything that has happened or anything you would like to share.
honestky awful. Lots of panic attacks and SH relapses. Sadness and fear at this holiday weekend. Lots of pain and processing. Honestly, just struggling to hold on
2) Share some positive affirmations for anyone that might be reading 😃
You are enough. You will make it through this. There is always someone who cares.
3) What is your favorite thing about the city you live in?
The mix between nature and urban. We gave a river with calm sections and class 4 rapids, tons of trails, nature, hidden islands, etc. But we are also a very foodie city with tons of unique restaurants and fun, local shops. And the people are the best. When not Covif, tons of free festivals and outdoor fitness classes. Lots of fun museums and history and art. And the people are the best!
@BraveAdventurer
Hi there Brave <3 I'm so sorry for the late reply. I'm sorry to hear that you had an awful week full of panic attacks and relapses, that sounds awful and I really hope it gets better soon. Stay strong and stay in there bud, I know these times are hard but they will pass. The affirmation you shared was beautiful and I'm sure that it can apply to you as well. The place you live in sounds beautiful and I hope you get to enjoy it to its full potential when covid gets better or is over. I hope this week has been kinder to you. <3

i actually had a good time i went to my husbands aunts house and we had a birthday party there and my birthday party is next week there 
I did have an anxiety attack after i saw a mother and daughter hug and cry from happiness i had to take a minute and go take my pills and cry because ill never have that with my mom (our relationship is really bad) i wish i could have that desperately
2) Share some positive affirmations for anyone that might be reading 😃
you can do this keep going
3) What is your favorite thing about the city you live in?
its so huge and theres tons of things to do and go adventure!
@itidc
Hey there, I'm so sorry for the late reply.. I'm so glad that you had a good time this week and that birthday party sounds fun, but I'm so sorry you had an anxiety attack during that. It's totally understandable why that happened and shows that you care and almost sounds like there's a sense of grief over you and your mom's unstable relationship. I hope you both are able to figure that out soon and I wish you the best with it. Thank you for sharing the affirmation! :) Living in a big city with many adventures to go on sounds fun. :D I hope this week went well!
@TheAtticusFinch
its okay and thnk you, I do we used to have a good relationship but once I became an adult it just vanished. It seems like I'm the black sheep and she's trying to make me feel bad and destroy our relationship so I will leave. Then she can say I left them and play the victim, shes a narcassist.
@itidc
That sounds terrible.. I'm so sorry you have to deal with that and you deserve much better hon.. I too struggle with very.. difficult family at home and I can heavily empathize with this. I hope you're finding distractions and safe spaces at home. :) <3
@TheAtticusFinch
its okay and I hope your doing okay with your family situation as well, I hate you feel the same way i really wish you didn't. Stay strong.
