because the fear of being caught is bigger than the relief the SI can bring me...
and because i don't want to hide things anymore, i was so happy for not worrying about hiding marks on my body anymore....till i started over

because it doesn't fix things; it just creates more "things"

and because I don't want scars or questions

Because I didn't want to disappoint my boyfriend. I'm trying not to cut so he doesn't have to see fresh wounds or more scars than I already have.

...Because I have a safety contract with my therapist and I don't want to break it.
...Because I have a lot of Dr's appointments and I don't want them to see any new cuts or scars.
So...I'm writing this post and hoping the urge will pass. I'll also try listening to my favorite music and drawing and if all else fails I'll call my therapist, but I'm not going to cut myself.

I didn't because I realized it wouldn't help anything, and my friend is already going through a tough time, and if she found out I wouldn't want to hurt her anymore. Plus, after I SI, it's like I have not emotions, and nothing matters. I want to be there for my friend, emotions and all.

how i put off hurting myself

Post by sisterbig » Fri Feb 03, 2006 1:50 pm

I didn't buy what I needed to use to hurt myself. I just told myself that I can do it another time and that bought me time. If I keep putting it off maybe I won't do it again.

-It was going to be one year on March 17th but now it won't be one year until January 18th and I don't want to push that date back any further.
-I'm trying to prove that I am stronger than si
-Only one person irl knows that I have messed up twice and he wasn't proud of me to say the least. I can't stand him being disappointed in me or disapproving of me
-The scars are a turn-off (for both myself and others)

1) I didn't want to feel the shame and all again

2) I worked out. I don't know if anyone else does this when they are tempted to si but if you don't I would really reccommend it. It has worked great for me. I just do some sit-ups and push-ups until I'm not tempted anymore. Its like killing two birds with one stone- gets me over wanting to si and gets me in better shape!
