how will this situation or feeling change if i hurt myself?

I won't feel mired by expectation.

what will hurting myself bring to the situation? what will it take away from the situation?

Bring: I guess I'll have fucked up 3.7 years. Probably a sense of relief and maybe failure or regret.
Take away: Progress??

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 just want it to be over and done with, really...I don't want to hurt like this anymore. I don't know about closer or farther because I can't really like...think...that far...

if hurting myself seems like my best option right now, how long will the relief it brings last? what will i do then?

...

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'm watching Germany/Italy (mmm Neuer) and then I am supposed to go visit my brother depending on when the match ends... It will get me out of my head for a bit. I don't know what I will do then...drink? Heh.

Oh, I can see if my fantasy team ate itself pretty much since it's 80% Germans and Italians.

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'll probably think that I am just kicking the can down the street.

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?

die Cut, bad. Bad bad bad. I don't know what to do?!?

Why do I feel I need to hurt myself? What has brought me to this point?

I am just tired and overwhelmed and just sad and I am just...I don't want to be anymore. I feel so mired by expectations and like I have to be this this and this and I am just so fucking depressed.

Have I been here before? What did I do to deal with it? How did I feel then?

...

What I have done to ease this discomfort so far? What else can I do that won't hurt me?

I've talked to people (and subsequently withdrawn), I've watched soccer, I've slept, I've drank, I've done other stuff...

How do I feel right now?

Like everything is too much and closing in

How will I feel when I am hurting myself?

It depends

How will I feel after hurting myself? How will I feel tomorrow morning?

It depends and probably like shit

how will this situation or feeling change if i hurt myself?

what will hurting myself bring to the situation? what will it take away from the situation?

...Bring I guess regret or something. Take I don't know. See it's too hard to figure this all out.

Can I avoid this stressor, or deal with it better in the future?

...maybe kinda idk
there is, in the end, the letting go.
