It sounds like you are dead set on hurting yourself. That of course is your decision to make...however since you did take the time to fill out the before questions, it makes me think that somewhere in the back of your mind you don't really want to hurt yourself. Is there anything you can do to distract yourself or work through the situation that is stressing you?
