I didnt because I have this new wonderful guy friend that I a mable totalk to about stuff....he has always been a good friend but I have just told him about stuff...cause he had noticed a scar on my arm...hes very relaxed and never gave me a funny look at all......he just smiled and said
'show me one person in this world who does not have scars'
It was rad...now we are able to talk alot...and it is nice to have someone who can talk with me...

He helps me not SI....him and the fact that i really do want to get better

Because I had a doctors appointment this morning and she looks so damned disappointed.

I didn't because I came on BUS and I felt so much support and love here through all the posts I read, that it shows that some people really care about others and it made me feel better
I don"t know if what I wrote made some sense but thanks to all of you ....

I came close to SI-ing today. I didn't because it's Lent, and I've promised myself to try not to SI as a Lenten penance. And I won't be satisfied that I tried hard enough if I SI. Plus, I know abstinence from SI does make me stronger (even though it doesn't always feel like that at the moment).
I guess I'm glad I didn't. At the same time, I can't wait for Lent to be over.

Last time I wanted to SI I didn't because I told myself it was stupid and it wouldn't help anything. And I'm very proud of myself.

I was convinced I was going to SI as soon as I got home from some very stressful things, but instead I threw myself into my homework, and I actually got a lot done because of the feverish energy ... now I have a little less to be stressed about.

I can't really believe it ... but it feels good.

for everyone

I played the Sims 2. It's incredibly addictive and helps me escape from my own problems eg: @least my stove isn't on fire
I played it for a full 3 hours

last time i wanted to si..i actually did

.....but i didn't do it [worse] like i wanted to, because i was on the phone with my boyfriend and i forced myself to tell him that i was really badly urgy, and he helped me fight it...soothing me and telling me that he loved me and he just wanted me to sleep, and not do anything........i'm proud that i did what he said...but the urge still hasn't left me, and it's getting hard to fight again

.....(hope this counts...i'm not sure, sorry...)

I was thinking obsessively about SI even though nothing was going wrong or anything. I ended up scratching myself a little (no marks, so doesn't count) and then got myself together and hung out with family.
