how will this situation or feeling change if i hurt myself?
it won't, but i just was relief from this.

what will hurting myself bring to the situation? what will it take away from the situation?
im feeling intensly sad, and si'ing will take that away temporarily. i just feel so unhappy here :( i am so homesick. its a combination of home sickness and tiredness.
it wont, however, make me any less closer to home, neither will it make my flatmates actually speak or emerge from their rooms once in a while.

how do i want to feel about this in the long run? is hurting myself likely to get me closer to or farther from feeling that way?
i dont want to hurt myself, but i do, if that makes sense.

if hurting myself seems like my best option right now, how long will the relief it brings last? what will i do then?
i KNOW it will only be temporary, but all i want is a temporary escape from these f eelings.

what is something i could do now instead of hurting myself? how will it change the situation i'm in? how long will that change last, and what will i do then?
i could go for a walk, but like i said, im sjust so tired.
i could go to the student counselling thing as they're running a drop in service this week for those who feel homesick.
