really feeling hopeless after

Post by mikedemons » Sun Dec 30, 2007 4:25 am

have you taken care of your physical wounds? if not, go do that now. we'll wait. yes i washed them and used aint-bio cream


what had happened just before? i was ifhgitng w/ my girlfreind


what were you thinking and feeling? alone abaonded like i am such a burden on on life its self


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 know i was feeling upset and needed to clam and gather myself but that was why i went outside to smoke a ciggert in the frist place


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.
i really cant explain it i walked away from the fight planing on be walked out yey agin like everyone dose so well to me i went only to go smoke a ciggettthere was a kniff sitting on the table and the next thing i really rember was her smacking in the face o get my attenceshoin and ripping the kniff away from me


were there outside factors like drugs, alsohol, being off your meds, lack of sleep, etc? can you address those in the future? how?
i havent had my medz in atlest a week but besides that anger and feeling so bad about myself from the fhight sure facted into it


what other ways of coping did you try besides self-harm? how well did they work? nothin i didnt even give it a thought like i said one minut i was lighting my ciggert and the next i was being smacked in the face and haveing a kniff ripped out of my hand


in retrospect, are there coping methods that you now realize might have helped? what were they? i dont think that blacking out w/ sharp objects in my hands is a good thing at all


name at least two things you will do to help yourself remember those coping methods if you end up in this situation again. for one i will try to stay more aware and in control of myself i think that is the only thing that could have helped this time


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?
i really honstily dont feel anything about it beside my arm being very very sore but it dose scare me to know that it happended like that and makes me worry about next time this time thoe i dont think i can be mad at myself since i slipped up on a subconcese level its just makes me scared


are you likely to be in that emotional place again? how will you recognize it when you're in that situation? i dont know i on the level w/ her i am sure of it becuse i am questioning my involement w/ her on the how i slipped that scares me i've had alot times where i black while i am si'in but never before like that


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.
in that situation i dont know
Sometimes I feel like my sun as run away. Drifting from here to there and the feeling stays the same. The thoughts stay in my head and they always haunt me.......
