**TW: self harm and eating disorders**

Previous: [Daily check-in #1](https://talkingsober.com/t/daily-check-in-1/209512)

7th August 2026

I got in a fight with my step mom today. It’s been around 30 minutes and the urge to hurt myself is so strong.

I’m 1 day and 18 hours in I don’t know how much longer I can go on.

I haven’t eaten since lunch yesterday. I don’t feel like I deserve to eat today.

I just hope I can get to tomorrow

Thank you for sharing. You mentioned, you don’t know how long you can go on. Let me tell you…

You can go until the next time you fall asleep.

Don’t try to overcome your struggles ‘forever’ or ‘once for all time’. Just try to go to sleep at bedtime, without having treated yourself unkind.

You may not feel like it, but you do deserve to receive kindness from yourself. We all do deserve that.

You also deserve to nourish your body, treat it kindly, and care for it.

Thank you for coming to this community to share. Hang in there; don’t give up or give in.

By the way, I believe more people may see your posts if you post to the ongoing daily check in thread that most of us use.[Checking in daily to maintain focus #87](https://talkingsober.com/t/checking-in-daily-to-maintain-focus-87/209219)

Hoping the best for you. 🤗💙

You do deserve to eat today. Please take care of yourself.

I’ve been holding it together mostly. Yesterday was quite rough but I’m doing way better today. Thank you!
