Here's one thing to try and see if it's right for you. Ask yourself these questions:
- <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?
They are from this website: <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.palace.net/~llama/psych/fself.html>http://www.palace.net/~llama/psych/fself.html</A> and there are other ideas there too that might help.
