Self-Harm recovery daily check-in: Saturday September 5th, 2020.
Hi everyone!! Happy Labor day weekend (at least in the US) where we get an extra day off! I've always been an individual who overworks and is overproductive, but recently I've been learning about the importance of taking breaks in terms of politics and activism! But I also recognize that taking breaks is important in your mental health too and want to focus on that today. :)
(Look how cute that is! That will hopefully be me at the end of today!)
Check in questions:
1) How is your week going? Any highs or lows? Feel free to share anything <3
2) What's your favorite way to relax? What are you planning on doing this weekend that is relaxing or giving a break for yourself?
3) When do you feel most tired throughout the day? How do you energize yourself :o
4) If you could receive a package right now, who would you want it to be from and what would be in it?

Heya! I definitely hope that itll be you too, although I also hope that your laptop will survive :p
1) How is your week going? Any highs or lows? Feel free to share anything <3
This has been a weird week, it started really great, with excellent results on an experiment plus finally figuring something out, but somewhere along the week my mood completely shifted out of the blue. Which kinda made me feel even worse, I mean, its okay to just not be okay, I really believe in this, yet at the same time I cant just show up at work feeling down for no reason… I think the mood shift was mostly due to an insomnia that made me let my guard down and overthinking happened, and so on. But Im trying to reboot myself this weekend!
2) What's your favorite way to relax? What are you planning on doing this weekend that is relaxing or giving a break for yourself?
This might sound weird, but my favourite way to relax is to work out, clean my place, and then chill on my couch with nice food and TV shows. Without the sports and mostly without the cleaning part, it feels different, less relaxing. Plus deep cleaning my place helped me sort my thoughts a bit so thats always good to take!
3) When do you feel most tired throughout the day? How do you energize yourself :o
I feel the most tired in the evening, usually after getting home from work. I dont actually energize myself much though lol but taking a shower to wash the day off usually refuels me a bit!
4) If you could receive a package right now, who would you want it to be from and what would be in it?
Oh funny question! Id love to receive a package full of art supplies, from any supplier but definitely not from my bank account because these things are so expensive, sadly!
@LinearWaves
Awh Linear- I really am sorry to hear that this week took a turn for you. I know how it feels when you suddenly just feel really down and gloomy for no apparent reason out of no where and it can definitely be really confusing! But, as you said, it's okay not to be okay and I can hear your maturity and strength in you words with how you're planning to use this weekend to regroup and revitalize a bit. Take all the time you need okay 🥺We all fall into small holes of sadness sometimes and we get to pick ourselves back up when we're ready <3 You got this and I'm cheering for you!! Your favorite way to relax and strangely similar to the way that I would ideally relax as well!! I love making food and watching YouTube or a show to treat myself.. I don't know why but watching something and eating is just so great ah! And yes! When I lived at my house with my parents I would do the same things with cleaning too, so it doesn't sound weird to me at all. Showering in the morning fuels me sometimes as well so I get where you're coming from with that!! Ahhhhh I highkey want art supplies as well but you're right they can be way too expensive hehe.. I hope this week turns out better for you and take care linear!! <3

It's good.
2) What's your favorite way to relax? What are you planning on doing this weekend that is relaxing or giving a break for yourself?
Sleeping is my favorite way to relax.
I'll give myself a break this weekend through playing video games. Any game is like my own world. :D
3) When do you feel most tired throughout the day? How do you energize yourself :o
I usually take a nap to energize myself.
4) If you could receive a package right now, who would you want it to be from and what would be in it?
A million dollars coming from the lottery. Easy money! I'm aware that money can't buy happiness, but it will surely help my me, and my parents'.
Thanks for reading.
@LovelyOrangeJuice
Hi Orange Juice!! :D I'm glad that your week has been going well :) Sleeping is definitely a good way to relax and is definitely underrated when it comes to how important it is for our health! Sleeping vitalizes us and prepares us to conquer the next day hehe.. and ah yes! I can totally relate to what you're coming from with gaming! I don't exactly know what game you're planing on playing this weekend, but I remember feeling like Minecraft was my own world in middle school and so was roblox! It was so much needed freedom back then hehe:P And I hope you get that lottery money soon ;)) hehe! Take care and thank you for responding!
