Why do I feel I need to hurt myself? What has brought me to this point?
My mom is pushing every button she knows how to push.
Have I been here before? What did I do to deal with it? How did I feel then?
Yes, I have been here before. I dealt with it by hurting myself. I felt like I gave in too soon.
What I have done to ease this discomfort so far? What else can I do that won't hurt me?
Journalled, I don't know what else I can do.
How do I feel right now?
I feel angry and upset and frustrated because she always does this.
How will I feel when I am hurting myself?
I will feel better when I am hurting myself.
How will I feel after hurting myself? How will I feel tomorrow morning?
I will feel like I gave up or gave in.
Can I avoid this stressor, or deal with it better in the future?
Can't avoid the stressor, but could deal with it by not letting it get to me.
Do I need to hurt myself?
no, but I really want to.
