figure out what led to the slip.
my dad said something mean and unnecessary to me, but i was already feeling bad because of stupid "boy problems"
have you taken care of your physiacl wounds? if not, go do that now. we'll wait.
enough for now
what had happened just before?
saw A earlier, and then my dad was snide to me unprovoked
what were you thinking and feeling?
i want to show how much that hurt, and i want A to see that i am not okay and that i have problems, too (he seems to think his are SO much worse than mine )
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?
dads comment
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.
could have ignored it (yet again), said something about it, need to discuss things with A
were there outside factors like drugs, alsohol, being off your meds, lack of sleep, etc? can you address those in the future? how?
not really
what other ways of coping did you try besides self-harm? how well did they work?
didnt try anything
in retrospect, are there coping methods that you now realize might have helped? what were they?
computer, bunny, music
name at least two things you will do to help yourself remember those coping methods if you end up in this situation again.
??
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?
bad, no, talk to dad? or A
are you likely to be in that emotional place again? how will you recognize it when you're in that situation?
very, im not sure
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.
play with my bunny, go online, call someone (just to distract, not to tell them i want to cut)

Always remember that everything is okay in the end - if it's not okay, then it isn't the end.
If I knew all the words I would write myself out of here...
