More Before Questions To Answer
  • Why do I feel I need to hurt myself? What has brought me to this point?
    I'm stressed about my friends who aren't doing well, and if I can cut and detach from everything, I won't be stressed and worried. And not stressed or worried means i'll be better equipped to deal with what's to come. ...In theory...
  • Have I been here before? What did I do to deal with it? How did I feel then?
    Uh, hm. Yeah, I have been here before. I hid in my room. I felt mad at myself for ignoring my friends.
  • What I have done to ease this discomfort so far? What else can I do that won't hurt me?
  • How do I feel right now?
    I feel like there's nowhere to go, nowhere I want to go. I feel trapped, stagnant.
  • How will I feel when I am hurting myself?
    Faraway.
  • How will I feel after hurting myself? How will I feel tomorrow morning?
    Quiet inside. I don't know how I will feel tomorrow.
  • Can I avoid this stressor, or deal with it better in the future?
    No, and if there is a better way to deal with it in the future I don't know how.
  • Do I need to hurt myself?
I can't honestly answer yes to this question, but I can't honestly answer no either.
