  • Did I identify what feelings were leading me to want to SI?
    I felt very lonely.
  • If Yes - What were they, and how did I figure them out?
    There was nobody around - and I remember thinking "damn I just wish someone would care". It was easy to identify them because I was, um, feeling them.
  • What coping skills did I use to deal with these feelings?
    Well.. I was at a bus stop. I saw the word's BUS & loadsa thing's I've learnt here came rushing back. Also it reminded me that there's a fair few people who do care about me here. Also the word's stop just enforced that.
  • Were these coping skills the most effective I could have used?
    I could have probably grit my teeth and got through it - because I didn't have my mobile.
  • If No - What coping skills got me through?
    Just reminders.
  • Why do I think they worked?
    Because.. Um.. I thing it reminded me that I'm not alone, whatever I'm going through.
  • How can I deal with these feelings more effectively next time, before the urge to SI sets in?
    I'll ring someone.
don't worry if i'm not here - i come and go. :cowsleep:
