it is a plan i came up with my t... he kind of held me hostage (jk) until i would as he said "give me something so i will know you are safe!"
this is what we came up with

1 distract myself - work, clean, read, listen to praise music... this is when i try and do something that is sensory...like walking outside barefoot...take a hot shower (not scalding)
2 journal
3 run on my treadmill
4 go for a walk
5 call him
6 take a xanax

the second part of the safety plan is...
he would like me to call him before i cut... but i will after.
if i am suicidal and am going to act on it... i had to promise i would call him and not act on it until i met with him... that there wasn't an option.
i know that if i call him he won't let me follow through... and i also know that if i do act on it there really isn't anything he could do... but...it does help me stay safe... and it's kind of good to know that there is someone who will hold me accountable even if i won't do that for myself...stay safe...lyn
