Time for Self Preservation

Following another week long episode of self harm, suicidal attempts and hospitalisation, a conversation has sparked off a new lease of hope from within me.

Question: If you swept into a tornado and there is no way to escape, what can you do?
Answer: Nothing. You must be strong and hold still until the storm passes...

Question: What do you do when the storm inevitably passes?
Answer: You assess the damage - You check what emotional/physical damage has been done in order to heal yourself.

When a tornado comes and hits you with or without warning, you must say "STOP", ride the storm out without putting yourself into anymore unnecessary danger and once it has passes then and only then are you ready to evaluate the situation and use the time for Self Preservation.
