have you taken care of your physical wounds? if not, go do that now. we'll wait. yeah


what had happened just before? i cant reach my doctor


what were you thinking and feeling? To get it out of my head


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?
my boss, alot of closed doors and secrets today, Im very suspisious.


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 could have talked to him but Im terrified of him. My doc says i relate my mother and step mother to him


were there outside factors like drugs, alsohol, being off your meds, lack of sleep, etc? can you address those in the future? how? nothing different. I was in the corridor to be alone and I dissoctiated and it was scary.


what other ways of coping did you try besides self-harm? how well did they work? I tried to call my doc-hes not there and I feel like a stalker if I call his cell


in retrospect, are there coping methods that you now realize might have helped? what were they? maybe call his cell


name at least two things you will do to help yourself remember those coping methods if you end up in this situation again.
pass---


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?
no its not solved, i dont even think the cutting did anything.


are you likely to be in that emotional place again? how will you recognize it when you're in that situation? already there


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
1-call doc
2-call husband
3-take a walk if possable
There's no where to run
There's no where to hide

I'm sorry you slipped, but I think it's great that you tried to call your doc beforehand! Good job on that. Hopefully, next time, he can pick up. It's great that you at least tried to do something before you hurt yourself.

Now, do you want to go take care of the wounds? I hope you feel better soon!
