I've always found that it's helpful, not only to reach an understanding but also to get a bit of distance (which helps with distress), to take a stance of interested inquiry with regard to my actions.
You forgot your pragmatics buddy, but not all forgetting is without meaning.
If you take a stance of interested inquiry, what might you notice?
You can take that stance with regard to the urges to order drugs, or the thoughts about death. And you can also take that stance about choosing to post in such a way that you could reasonably guess what some of the response might be.
It is not terribly pragmatic to beat yourself over something that is done. And far more pragmatic to approach every experience as a chance to learn something about yourself.
So....
If you take a stance of interested inquiry, what might you discover about yourself?
(Now, no judgment. Judgment is not allowed in inquiry. It biases the result.)
