My before and hopely not an after

Post by heidibeth » Tue May 20, 2008 5:58 pm

how will this situation or feeling change if i hurt myself?
It will not really change. I will stil have been mocked by someone
what will hurting myself bring to the situation? what will it take away from the situation? Nothing really. It might make me feel better for awhile
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 want to be able to move on from the situation. No because it will make me feel worthless and feel wrose about the situation


if hurting myself seems like my best option right now, how long will the relief it brings last? what will i do then? for only a few minutes

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? Talk about with someone who cares. Journal. Particate in groups

how will i feel tomorrow if i hurt myself? how will i feel tomorrow if i do the other thing i came up with? I wil feel awful that I have disappoint my T's and family.

what do i really want to do right now? how can i best honor the self-protective instinct that has me wanting to self-injure right now?
