from questions to answer after a slip thread...

About Opportunities to SI
Opportunity to Self-Harm seems to be a common theme. Think about why opportunities are important to slips and learn why opportunity is important to you.

What made that opportunity more appealing than any other?
my brother and mom were fighting...i had hid a new tool that i've never used before and used it...

Did you make an opportunity or was it there for the taking?
i don't know...i guess i made it since i hid the tool.

What would you have done if there was no opportunity, how would you have handled your urge? i would have made one.

If there had been no opportunity would your urge to self-harm have increased or decreased? definately increased

What consitutes opportunity for you? Being alone? having new tools? waiting for the right feeling? apparently having new tools, since i used one this time...and when the feeling comes along, i took that opportunity.

If your opportunties were taken away, how would you feel?
i would want to scream. mad. i would probably search for a new tool in the heat of the moment.
