Why do I feel I need to hurt myself? What has brought me to this point?

The fact that I feel I can't cut where I want. The fact that i have to hide it.
Yes I have been to this point before and it led to the same thing, me cutting myself.

* Have I been here before? What did I do to deal with it? How did I feel then?

Yes Lately several times before. I cut to deal with it. It made me feel better.


* What I have done to ease this discomfort so far? What else can I do that won't hurt me?

I have done alot of writing. Just writing.



* How do I feel right now?

Confused!


* How will I feel when I am hurting myself?

More confused!!


* How will I feel after hurting myself? How will I feel tomorrow morning?

Better. The next morning I will feel confused. Really Confused because of probelms in my life!


* Can I avoid this stressor, or deal with it better in the future?
Not at the moment. Maybe real soon.


* Do I need to hurt myself?
No I want to.

but I've also read posts you've written saying you made it through an urge, and didn't hurt yourself- what did you do those times?
