[*]have you taken care of your physical wounds? if not, go do that now. we'll wait.
Was in A/E

*]what had happened just before?
spoke to my mom, made her cry,

[*]what were you thinking and feeling?

just how much of a failure i am to my family

[*]why did you end up hurting yourself then instead of some other time? was there an event that was the final straw? what was it?
No Just all build up

[*]how did the situation get to the final straw stage? trace it back through the events that led up to the last event. look for some point at which you could have made a different decision and not arrived at the final straw.
Because i was honest about my ed, everything really

[*]were there outside factors like drugs, alsohol, being off your meds, lack of sleep, etc? can you address those in the future? how?
Too much alcohol, need to get into a rehab or something.

[*]what other ways of coping did you try besides self-harm? how well did they work?
I stayed sober for nearly 2 days, slept alot , so i guess the drink just made everything seem much worse. Shit i know this already.

(yells at myself)

[*]in retrospect, are there coping methods that you now realize might have helped? what were they?
Should have just curled up in bed , not drank so much

[*]name at least two things you will do to help yourself remember those coping methods if you end up in this situation again.
I dunno

[*]how do you feel about the situation that led to self-harm now? is it resolved? if not, what are some steps you might take toward resolution?
I failed, not a slip, a fuck up, try and get into a programme or something

[*]are you likely to be in that emotional place again? how will you recognize it when you're in that situation?
I dont plan it, so dunno how

[*]what will you try before you resort to self-harm if you're in that situation again? list three specific things you will commit to trying.
[/list]
sleep,
writing it down, not sure about that one
smoke alot and sleep
Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow is a mystery,
Today is a gift,
That's why we call it the present.
