I used a distraction and called my friend. Although she didnt know she saved me from cutting a lot that day. Then afterwards I went for a walk and had a cig, then went to sleep. When I woke up, I didnt feel like SIing
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I thought my reason for being upset was stupid and I didn't want to admit (even to myself) that it could make me upset enough to SI.

i haven't "SI"ed in a little over 2 months. i stopped because my closest friends told the school nurses on me.. i was FURIOUS, but eventually realized what they meant to do was help me. my boyfriend took all my razors and stuff away.. and hid them. and he won't give them back (which is in my best interest). whenever i feel like SI-ing, i tell him, or one of my best friends. they talk to me about it and cheer me up and when i don't have one of them around, i just keep my mind off of it and put it off, or do something constructive. once i drew a picture of a girl who had cut herself and she had cuts on her arms and legs.. it made me feel better and i put so much detail and work into it that it wore me out and i just fell asleep and i woke up the next day and i didn't want to SI anymore. i hope i can keep not doing it..
not on BUS so much anymore- i do check PMs :)

I called a crisis line and talked for about an hour and the trigger or urge went away.

and really come to understand the lesson you were taught,

why i didnt cut

Post by SxcJulz4eva » Fri Aug 05, 2005 12:19 am

Last night, i felt like cutting really badly, i went into the bathroom, and i was planning to, but i thought that soon my mum will notice, soon my friend will crack and tell my mum, and that means i have to go to the counsellor that doesnt know anything. so instead i screamed into my pillow, forced some tears out, punched my pillow, and whilst trying to punch my pillow i gave myself a v big shock because my radio fell off the shelf, and that shocked me enuf to give me an adrenilin rush and so i finally got the energy to write down like 3 pages of my problems.

I didn't have time to get supplies, so I guess the real reason is that I stopped carrying tools and supplies.

I'm glad I didn't.

I have a couple of reasons for not si'ing the last time I wanted to (which happens to be last night):
1) Your body is a temple (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
2) It's been about 6 months since I last si'd. I'm proud of that and I REALLY don't want to ruin my record!
3) I know that there are numerous people in my life who are really proud of me for not doing it anymore and who would also be very disappointed if I started again. And I hate having people disappointed it me. Doesn't it suck to hear those words!

Heres how I avoid si'ing:
1) Think about the above reasons not to
2) Write
3) Crafts- painting, drawing, knitting (I'm making a scarf)
4) Calling a friend. I usually don't tell them about the temptation but it's nice to just chat and it keeps me busy.
5) Computer, TV, movies (Especially The Italian Job, Without a Paddle and Family Guy)

God bless our troops! I love you guys! You are my heros!

Last night I was literally unable to sleep because I wanted to so much, but I didn't. I didn't because I didn't feel I could trust myself not to do some serious damage and ending up in hospital would be a very bad idea right now.
