questions to ask yourself when you want to use an unhealthy coping mechanism

• why do i want to hurt myself? what will blaming myself reinforce? who taught me i am not allowed to make mistakes? who benifits from this?
• am i feeling overwhelmed? what’s really bothering me? can i write it down? what am i avoiding thinking about?
• am i reacting rationally? what would i tell a friend who was experiencing this? what can i learn from this? isn’t that what’s important?
• am i god? do i control everything? is worrying going to serve a purpose?
