- Why do I feel I need to hurt myself? What has brought me to this point?
I'm tired and I miss it. I'm alone so it would be easy. - Have I been here before? What did I do to deal with it? How did I feel then?
Yes, I did something productive and waited for someone to get home so I wasn't alone. I ended up feeling better later. - What I have done to ease this discomfort so far? What else can I do that won't hurt me?
I've looked for friends to talk to, and called my parents to ask when they'll be home. I can work on my homework to get my mind off things. - How do I feel right now?
worn out, tired, sick of fighting with myself over it - How will I feel when I am hurting myself?
in control, alert - How will I feel after hurting myself? How will I feel tomorrow morning?
horrible for giving in - Can I avoid this stressor, or deal with it better in the future?
I can make sure I get enough sleep so I'm not so tired. - Do I need to hurt myself?
no (i just really want to)
