Day 3: Daily Mental Health Check-in
It’s common for us to schedule a routine visit to the doctor when we aren’t feeling our best, so it should be common for us to check-in with our mental health to ensure that we are physically, mentally and emotionally in tune.

How am I feeling today? (Mentally and Physically)
I feel physically well, though a bit mentally drained for now.
What’s taking up most of my headspace?
My brain ? 😋 Jk.
My studies and work load. It's a pretty hectic week for me, and an exam is approaching so, I'd say my studies take up the most of my headspace, if that's what you're asking.
When did I last eat a whole meal?
A few minutes ago. A yummy dinner it was 😁
Am I tired?
I think I am. But maybe because the night is approaching, so a good night sleep will help me rejuvenate
What will I engage in today that will bring me joy?
Read my favourite booklist and doing my daily routine. It always makes me happy, doing them
How was your day 😊 ?
1. Much better than the last two days physically, but mentally this time I'm feeling sort of anxious. Trying to shake it.
2. Just general worry, really! Not about anything in particular, my brain just feels like ‼️
3. Last night for dinner, so I definitely need to grab some breakfast or lunch!
4. A little.
5. Today I will drink one of my favorite coffee drinks, put on my good feeling music, and give my house a deep clean. I always feel much better when my space is comfortable and tidy!

Awful about myself
In pain due to brief walk I had to do yday
Concerns about work and my inabilities are on my mind
I just ate Indian food ordered from a catering friend
I'm tired of life on a daily basis these days
@anonyLemon4233 Thinking of you. Indian food sounds great- hope it was tasty. Wishing you peace.
@DeeHopeful was thinking of you too.
Yes my friend cooks very nice vegan meals and I started to order a week plan of ready meals as was not getting around to cook anything myself. Her food kept me going as this time round I have not stopped eating probably because the meds make me feel hungry.
On my way to sleep but hope your day can go well and that the anxiety eased.
Take care
@anonyLemon4233 Ready meals are a great idea! Be gentle with yourself and wishing healing, restful sleep :) and Thank you
Check-in Questions:
-
How am I feeling today? (Mentally and Physically)
I physically am pain free for the first time in so long! I am mentally in such a strong and healthy place! I feel worthy , of value and free from being seen and treated as an object and putting my needs always second.
-
What’s taking up most of my headspace?
Such...elation and joy! Cliff notes: My father and his family have always and currently, treated me as an Object to meet their needs - no value of my own other than that. Today something snapped/clicked into place: I am NOT an Object - I have worth and value because I am me. Weather or not I am meeting their needs - I still count, I still matter. Today is my independence day! ( Fireworks and balloons please - lol). Today I retire my victim role and all the guilt, blame and responsibility that was wrongfully given to me. 👍
-
When did I last eat a whole meal?
Monday, at dinner. But due to this great news and shift in perspective - I will be having a full celebratory dinner - in fact, I am getting takeout from a favorite restaurant. 😃
-
Am I tired?
Nope. I have not been sleeping well the past weeks but yesterday I took a nap And had a full night's sleep and feel energized.
-
What will I engage in today that will bring me joy?
I am so full of joy now, but, today I am celebrating this shift I had, my Independence day, My self worth, with my aunt and having a good meal with her and watching a good movie!
-
How am I feeling today? (Mentally and Physically)
Completely exhausted. In part due to taking a muscle relaxer in hopes of it helping my back as standing more than a few minutes is painful to the point of being impossible. Mentally I am worn out in hopes of getting my own place to live anytime soon.
-
What’s taking up most of my headspace?
With the muscle relaxer my brain is not working enough to fill my head with any useful thoughts. Just thinking of the sadness of my personal world.
-
When did I last eat a whole meal?
Dinner last night. All I've had today is a bag of popcorn.
-
Am I tired?
All the time. 10 out of 10 of the medications I'm on cause this. As the health care system could care less about me I'm tempted to just stop taking all the meds to see if it make me feel any better.
-
What will I engage in today that will bring me joy?
Today is a lost cause. Medication makes me sleepy. Coffee only brings me false hopes of being a functioning human.
-
How am I feeling today? (Mentally and Physically)
Not so good today as I feel a bit washed out.
-
What’s taking up most of my headspace?
My dad hasn’t been very well, so I’ve been worried about him. On top of that work has been super busy adding to the pressure.
-
When did I last eat a whole meal?
I ate earlier and had a nice chicken dish at home followed by a slice of chocolate cake 😊
-
Am I tired?
Yes but I’m planning on a nice bath later and a chilled night reading my book!
-
What will I engage in today that will bring me joy?
I’ve got some annual leave to take from work so will be planning to take a few days off. Can’t wait! 😀
