peace:
worked out, cleaned my room, ate healthy, read, talked to friends, showered, now gonna watch a movie
trigger:
flashback about my mom hurting me
feeling:
dissociated, and impulsive
action:
find my hidden sharp
blood pours down my arm
cannot stop due to my lack of self control
clean up:
go to the bathroom
get bandages and neosporin
apply pressure to the cuts to stop bleeding
relief:
comfort floods over my body
i feel connected
more grounded
the urge went away
telling someone:
i tell my therapist
she tells me
"keep fighting"
"but i've lost"
i tell her back
