• Why do I feel I need to hurt myself? What has brought me to this point?
  I have to do about a thousand thing's. I am also very hungry and very tired.
• Have I been here before? What did I do to deal with it? How did I feel then?
  Yes I have been here before. But I wasn't hungry or tired or lonely. I felt happy.
• What I have done to ease this discomfort so far? What else can I do that won't hurt me?
  I have screamed. I have tugged my hair. I could probably get on with my homework which I need to do.
• How do I feel right now?
  Under stress. Like I am cracking.
• How will I feel when I am hurting myself?
  Like a need to relieve the stress. Like I am taking myself out of the situation.
• How will I feel after hurting myself? How will I feel tomorrow morning?
  I am too tired to think about that now. I will have to hide scars.
• Can I avoid this stress or, or deal with it better in the future?
  I could have done the homework earlier. I will do homework earlier in future.
• Do I need to hurt myself?
  No but I want to.

hey,

well done on answering the questions, it's really good that you can recognise how the stress of work is making you feel and that in the future you'll try and start it earlier (i know how hard it is to do though).

i hope that you managed to get this lot that you have right now done, is there a friend or a letruer/teacher/tutor that you can talktoabout your work, perhaps get some support with it?
