After

[xStarBright]

• have you taken care of your physical wounds? if not, go do that now. we'll wait.
  No, can't.
• what had happened just before?
  I was listening to depressing music.
• what were you thinking and feeling?
  I was thinking about tomorrow. I was feeling unsure, hurt, deceived and a little angry.
• 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?
  Therapy tomorrow, including the PE fiasco & clarinet & geography to-be fiasco.
• 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.
  Sam likes Heather. My mum's being too clingy. People tease me about my religion. I'm an awful burden. Lot's of thing's will confuse me tomorrow. There's really no way I can prepare for tomorrow, or change how clingy my mum is, or being a burden. Just etc.
• were there outside factors like drugs, alsohol, being off your meds, lack of sleep, etc? can you address those in the future? how?
  Music. But I enjoy it.
• what other ways of coping did you try besides self-harm? how well did they work?
  Really rely on the music I was listening to instead of letting it tease me.
• in retrospect, are there coping methods that you now realize might have helped? what were they?
  See above. I should have done it better.
• name at least two things you will do to help yourself remember those coping methods if you end up in this situation again.
  1. Notes.
  2. Books.
• 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?
  Ughh. Just let it pass. I will try to make myself feel wanted. By.. By eating?
  
  
• are you likely to be in that emotional place again? how will you recognize it when you're in that situation?
  Hell yeah. I only recognise the situation after it's done.. Umm.. I'll completely change my MP3 Player, so that when I come to listen, it's usualy when I'm in that situation. So, by the change, I'll remember, because it's not the same old song's?
