Sad and upset. I don't know why..school and my life.

No, it was a BIG trigger I didn't cut for two days.

Not really, just School and having no friends

You said you were sad and upset. Can you think of any more feelings? Can you specify why you were sad and upset? What could you have done about that instead of cutting?

You said you were sad and upset. Can you think of any more feelings?

Well, I was stressed out and I felt like I was a falliure

Can you specify why you were sad and upset?

No, I'm just hating everything right now. I have no social life and I have no fun..nobody really cares except for my parents and nobody at school likes me.

What could you have done about that instead of cutting?

-Draw on skin with red marker
-stay on computer
-Make a Happy Box
