I've been having an OK day today. Didn't wake up with a crushing sense of doom, didn't have any emotional waves start crashing in, didn't have anything happen that triggered bad behavior. A surprisingly OK day - which is something that hasn't happened in a long time.
But...I was just in the bedroom folding laundry and I had an overwhelming urge to cut. I didn't feel anything in particular - it just seemed like the right thing to do. This has never happened to me before without any warning of any kind and I don't understand. Now the emotional waves are starting to come in and I feel really discouraged and worthless. I must be really horrible and broken if I want to hurt myself as part of a "normal" day.

Deep breaths, you are not horrible or broken. It's wonderful you had a normal day but that doesn't stop the feelings of wanting to self-harm. There is a reason you want to right now even if you don't realize why. Hold on today, you've had a good day, try to go to bed early.
