have you taken care of your physical wounds?
not really. i dont even care to.

what had happened just before?
i thought about my past, and some things i miss and can never have back

what were you thinking and feeling?
i wanted to stop thinking about the past, i was a bit numb

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 resisted nearly all day, but couldnt anymore. Um, no not really.

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.


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 cooked, finally. It worked well for a long time but wore off.

in retrospect, are there coping methods that you now realize might have helped? what were they?
No

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?
there wasnt one. just felt like it. i think. its hard to remember

are you likely to be in that emotional place again? how will you recognize it when you're in that situation?
yes, definitly. um idk

and now im very tired and cant think so cya
Live long. And live happy.
Grieve not forever, but a little.
Smile forever, not a little.
Give love and hugs.
It will save someone.
Have hope for you will give hope.
Live to the fullest, you never know...
When it will end.

Sound's like you were just tired, and the oppertunity was just there.
I'm too tired myself to type out a long post, but I read, and I can relate.
