- how will this situation or feeling change if i hurt myself?
The situation won't change, but I'll feel guilty and mess up a lot of things - what will hurting myself bring to the situation? what will it take away from the situation?
There is no situation. It won't do anything - how do i want to feel about this in the long run? is hurting myself likely to get me closer to or farther from feeling that way?
I want to be comfortable. but that scares me. probably farther. - if hurting myself seems like my best option right now, how long will the relief it brings last? what will i do then?
I don't know - a while, then i have to hurt again. - what is something i could do now instead of hurting myself? how will it change the situation i'm in? how long will that change last, and what will i do then?
I could read or go on here. I can read and that would be enough of a distraction - how will i feel tomorrow if i hurt myself? how will i feel tomorrow if i do the other thing i came up with?
I dont know. Ashamed and what Ive messed up - what do i really want to do right now? how can i best honor the self-protective instinct that has me wanting to self-injure right now?
I want to talk and be acknowledged
