what had happened just before?
I came home from my bfs, and had problems at the station then I met my friend in town then went home
what were you thinking and feeling?
I was angry at myself and station staff
why did you end up hurting yourself then instead of some other time? was there an event that was teh final straw? what was it?
I've never been in that situation, I felt angry and humiliated, I wanted to punish myself for being stupid
how did the situation get to the final straw stage? trace it back through the events thatled up to the last event. look for some point at which you could have made a different decisiona nd not arrived at the final straw. I just felt so stupid I felt I deserved to SI, I could have bought a ticket half way but I didn't want to because it would make me late
were there outside factors like drugs, alsohol, being off your meds, lack of sleep, etc? can you address those in the future? how?
No
what other ways of coping did you try besides self-harm? how well did they work?
I tried to calm down but I couldn't stop thinking how stupid id been
in retrospect, are there coping methods that you now realize might have helped? what were they?
Probaly not
name at least two things you will do to help yourself remember those coping methods if you end up in this situation again.
Hopefuly I wont be in the same situation but if something makes me that angry when i'm out then try to calm down before going home, try not to dwell on it so much.
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? Technically it's resolved but i'm still angry at myself
are you likely to be in that emotional place again? how will you recognize it when you're in that situation?
I get angry alot
what will you try before you resort to self-harm if you're in that situation again? list three specific things you will commit to trying.
