I don't deserve that.
It would be a step backwards.
I like the way sun feels on my skin.
So I got home and made myself a drink and tried to relax and just enjoy being home and safe.

because I knew I stronger than to just give in. I knew giving in would only cause me more upset and anger at myself. Plus I've made so long without SI that I didn't want break my record of how far I've made it - getting close to 8 months SI free.

Because I don't want to make new scars, because everytime it gets worse and that scares me, because HE is not worth damaging myself over.

last time i wanted to si was actually today during spanish class. i saw a huge half-straightened paperclip on the floor, picked it up, and immediately thought of cutting. i sat in spanish debating on whether i should or not, and finally the promise of not doing it won over. i don't really know why. i just felt i HAD TO. just one. but for me, one turns into many, possibly hundreds. it's been three days since i've cut, and seeing the paperclip made me want to just curl up and cry. but anyway, i'm glad i told myself no. later i stuffed the paperclip up the hand towel dispenser just for the hell of it. and it jammed pretty nicely. :blush:

i didn't cut (and still haven't) because i have a doctor appointment in a couple of days, and i don't want them see or find any fresh marks (i'm already freaking out over my scars)

that and saturday night the band is having a concert and i don't want to risk anything even if i am staying at the merch table and helping sell things, i just don't want to feel guilty when i'm hanging out with the guys and knowing that i had to do this right before their show.......(i don't know that didn't even make sense...*shrug*)

I took some music with me to the bathroom, and it took my mind off cutting. ^_^
This was a triumph.

I didn't have the guts. It's too scary. That doesn't really get me anywhere good though.

I knew the feelings would pass in a few hours, and si just wasn't worth it.

tuesday because i went to play soccer instead and everytime i became too tired to keep going i kept chanting in my head "I didn't SI because" which was sorta the name of this thread

wednesday because i had some really bad news so I did take more valium then i normally do and headed straight to bed, woke up, watched a movie, took another dose of valium and went back to bed. Had to see therapists supervisor as she is out and i knew she was taking special time out of her schedule to see me & give me all the support i needed so I had to do the same & not SI. &&& it was outta some sorta sense of honour I have toward my normal T.

Becuase I won't let him have that kind of power over me anymore. It's been too long.

because i didnt want to look Brooke, Jenn and Tina in the eyes and tell them i did it again..

Plus, I sat there for half of my next class and talked to Jenn.. and it made me think about how i didnt want to harm myself.. and that i want to find healthier ways to take out my stress..
