:bfly: I'm stronger than that.
:bfly: I remember the hurt in my mom's eyes when I showed her my scar.
:bfly: I didn't need to.
:bfly: I didn't deserve it.
:bfly: It would hurt afterwards.
:bfly: I didn't want to break a promise.
:bfly: My cat came in and snuggled me, and that made me happy.

Last time I wanted to SI and didn't it was because my wonderful cat Matilda was staring at me with her innocent, unconditionally loving eyes, trying to figure out what I was doing. Instead of SI-ing I talked to her and cuddled with her, which was comforting. It's nice because she doesn't argue with me or judge me.

i decided that altho my hurt feelings are my own, the situation/person that caused the hurt wasn't gonna win by getting the power and me hurting myself more. cuz at least at this moment i believe that i'm worth it :)

... because although I wanted to, I realised I didn't need to, so even though I'm not trying to stop as yet, I told myself I'm worth more than that, I'm special and then I curled up in bed with a book :)

Because the last time i did, it felt wrong afterwards. It didn't feel like it used to, it felt alien. Because I know I don't need to, and I'm starting to realise that I don't even want to.

because i was ignoring my emotions (the real source of my problems) by focusing on my desire to cut - instead i tried to work out what i was really thinking and feeling so that i could solve that rather than just ignoring it.


didn't exactly work but at least i didn't cut.

because I promised my friend to TRY to cope before automatically turning to SI. I went for a drive instead, then watched TV with my mom.

somehow I've decided that this fits in here even though it doesn't really... but anyway.......
my SI scar is in a place where I see it pretty much only when I go to the bathroom or shower... that and the fact that I feel kind of triggered already due to reading/writing about depression and suicide triggers me more... I want to but I don't... I haven't in just a week and that was triggered in part by seeing my scar too and before that I hadn't since May... I really don't want to but I think I will sort of want to once I'm in the bathroom and sitting down and not that far from my razor (which is within reach of the toilet)... and even if I hide the razor, I can use my fingernails like I did last time... last time I didn't because I gave myself permission if I still wanted to in 24 hours, and then I did... I could do that now, but I partly think I will on impulse... I hope not... being in the bathroom with the door closed is a time i'm alone and guaranteed to be alone, or pretty much so... damn it. i should just go to bed.
