My mom is controlling my every move, and making life utterly miserable for me. I feel like hurting myself because I know nothing better to do to gain control over my life.
Have I been here before? What did I do to deal with it? How did I feel then?
Yes, I have been here before, but it only lasted a couple of days. This time has lasted nearly a week, so far. When I was here before, I had the benefit of school during the day, so I could get away from her for a little while. I don't have that this time. Then, I felt like she was taking away everything that I had (typical teenager stuff).
What I have done to ease this discomfort so far? What else can I do that won't hurt me?
I have called my best friend and gone outside to write in my journal. Other things that I can do are..... I don't know anything else other than hurting myself.
How do I feel right now?
Right now I feel as if all control has been taken away from me, and I have issues with that.
How will I feel when I am hurting myself?
calmer, and more in control
How will I feel after hurting myself? How will I feel tomorrow morning?
I would feel that I have control over something.
Can I avoid this stressor, or deal with it better in the future?
Can't avoid it. Don't know how to deal with it better.
Do I need to hurt myself?
Right now, yes.
