have you taken care of your physical wounds? if not, go do that now. we'll wait.

yeah


what had happened just before?

it danced in front of me like a circus of lights. then the drum roll and ...


what were you thinking and feeling?

sad hurt


why did you end up hurting yourself then instead of some other time? was there an event that was the final straw? what was it?

i will not hurt others that way.

how did the situation get to the final straw stage? trace it back through the events that led up to the last event. look for some point at which you could have made a different decision and not arrived at the final straw.

bad day at work. sepperation anxiety from my girl. eviction of my roomate. broke. bills. u am so out of controll.

were there outside factors like drugs, alsohol, being off your meds, lack of sleep, etc? can you address those in the future? how?

don't sleep much unless i drink and take some sleep aids. my head lhas so many thought racing through it all the time. sometimes it is so loud. people yelling at each other...


what other ways of coping did you try besides self-harm? how well did they work?

i tried to hang out with others and go for a walk.

in retrospect, are there coping methods that you now realize might have helped? what were they?

not sure.


name at least two things you will do to help yourself remember those coping methods if you end up in this situation again.

not sure

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?

like a bad dream that you don't wake up from.

are you likely to be in that emotional place again? how will you recognize it when you're in that situation?

i am there now.

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.

i called my primary and my therapist and my g/f. i left work. my eyes are burning so bad
i have no real plan. i never had one. i am not really sure on how to make a plan and when to recognize when i need it.'
i'm just a mess.lost lost lost lost lost!!!!!!!!

these are just words. i wish i could explain better.....
