it will go away and let me sleep in peace without fear or hurt or anything
what will hurting myself bring to the situation? what will it take away from the situation?
it will allow me to be free from all the horrible feelings i have, but it will cause my bf to worry, as i do not know how long i can hide it.
how do i want to feel about this in the long run? is hurting myself likely to get me closer to or farther from feeling that way?
i want to be able to move on from si, it will move me farther away :/
if hurting myself seems like my best option right now, how long will the relief it brings last? what will i do then?
i don't particuarly care how long it lasts, i need it
and five seconds is better than none at all but my bf will worry and it will upset him, i don't want thatwhat is something i could do now instead of hurting myself? how will it change the situation i'm in? how long will that change last, and what will i do then?
i could draw for a bit, which would relax me, but i wouldn't be distracted for long
how will i feel tomorrow if i hurt myself? how will i feel tomorrow if i do the other thing i came up with?
i would feel guilty, and angry and ashamed that i gave in to my urges.
i would feel proud that i had overcome my urges, and feel secure around my family.
what do i really want to do right now? how can i best honor the self-protective instinct that has me wanting to self-injure right now?
i want to be able to be at peace with myself, i want to be able to look after myself properly and not end up kicked out of my house.
urges aren't necessarily the enemy. they happen for reasons, and they're an expression of a desire to stay alive and stay sane and keep coping. remember that.
