Waking up in the middle of the night to check if my husband is still there and not cheating on me when I sleep. Things like that.
Safety plans are things you can do/people you can call instead of hurting yourself.

Thank you for explaining! I'm not sure what mine would be. That's hard to think of. Plus I don't have an animal (maybe soon though!)
A safety plan is a good idea. I do have one friend that lives a bit far away but if I asked I'm sure he'd say yes. I've also read that rubbing ice on where you want to cut helps. Is cutting on your legs uncommon? Not sure. I avoid my arms because they're more visible.
