I made sure I couldn't slip, even if the urges were bad (ie i left my tool at home and didn't take it to school) and it worked!!!

I knew the long term feelings afterwards would be worse if I had done it. I.e, it wasn't worth it in the long run.

I have made such a huge effort in healling the wounds for my cousins wedding on Saturday, so I won't end up in the hot seat and I really don't want to mess this up.

I watched a lot of TV and ended up getting really tired so I ended up falling asleep instead of SI'ing.

I said to myself one day that if I keep SI'ing, I could continue to live like that forever and that I may as well learn to love myself for who I am.

:oops: Everytime I think about SI, I immediately think about the negative consequences, such as how others will react.

When the feelings get strong, I watch TV, or go on bus

..Because I was able to distract myself with music, and memories of how someone special to me treated me like I was just as special...

Where the ocean meets the land,
It's time to live again,
And pull my dreams out of the sand.

Because my best friend called and we talked for 2 hours. Once we got off the phone, I was too exhausted to care about anything anymore.

I knew I'd do serious damage and have to go to the hospital.
I knew I'd lose credibility to my counselor and doctor.
I knew it wouldn't accomplish shit.
