Here's one thing to try and see if it's right for you. Ask yourself these questions:

1. <LI>Why do I feel I need to hurt myself? What has brought me to this point?
   <LI>Have I been here before? What did I do to deal with it? How did I feel then?
   <LI>What I have done to ease this discomfort so far? What else can I do that won't hurt me?
   <LI>How do I feel right now?
   <LI>How will I feel when I am hurting myself?
   <LI>How will I feel after hurting myself? How will I feel tomorrow morning?
   <LI>Can I avoid this stressor, or deal with it better in the future?
   <LI>Do I need to hurt myself?
