i wrote my boyfriend's name on the place i wanted to si in feltip pen - whenever i looked there to si, i saw the name and knew i couldn't si over it.

i didn't want to si because i have said i would stop and i want to keep my word. i don't want to see my boyfriend hurt by my behaviour again, he doesn't deserve that pain.

I didn't SI because I didn't want to and I could talk about how I was feeling instead - didn't do a great job, but at least I tried.

i put my tools in a lil box, printed pictures of renee, my mom, my sister and my dad, and my gramma and put them on it...then i taped it up with clear tape, so that any time i have an urge, and i grab for the box, i see them, and id have to go through all of them to cut if i wanted to...and that would be enough guilt to finish me...so yeah...this is why i havent cut the last time i wanted to. because if i cut, then ill have to go through the people i love most...and i dont want to hurt them anymore.

so you all can see that my life is contained outside of that box, not inside it.

it may be little...but its wrath can take a life. i dont want that life to be mine

Because my boyfriend was comeing down to CA from Orogon and I didn't want him to see cuts. I love him to much to hurt him like that.

Because I'm 6 months SI free tomorrow, and I know I'll feel terrible if I let myself down..it's not worth the guilt.

The reason...and not that hoobastank song :P

Post by lost_little_girl » Fri Apr 23, 2004 9:20 am

Thought about doing it today, came very close... My release? Fear, fear of being admitted against my will, and I know my boyfriend is ashamed of my scars, it's obvious. He wants me to have surgery to have them removed already... I also read the opening poem from that Iyanla Vanzant(sp) book 'One day my soul just opened up.' I wanted to be happy, I'm sick of the inconsiderate people in my everyday surroundings bring me downw. I just couldn't let that happen.

Because I don't deserve more pain.

It would be a step backwards.

I ate something and cuddled my bear and felt much better.

Right before I slipped into the bathroom I got a phonecall saying I got into the play I auditioned for :D

I wrote in my journal what is wrong as x didn't understand when I tried to explain. Urge has gone now. Feelings that started before it haven't though.
