Because I am going through a phase of extreme vanity. And how can I show my body if it's covered in scars?

Because my roomate would know. She always know, and I hate the look in her eyes when she knows...

I told my BF I was going for a run at 2h30 am... he asked me what was wrong and I started to cry... and cry. And then he hugged me, and I fell asleep.

It happenned last week.

Last time I wanted to and didn't... I didn't want to feel that low again. Something stopped me - I didn't want to throw all that away... that "normal" feeling I have.
Plus, I made a promise that I would make my late Grandad proud. I can't let him down.

I know this is an old thread but I hope no one's pissy that I'm bumping it.

Last time I wanted to SI, I didn't solely because... well, I've gone so long and don't want to fuck up the record I've got going here.

Also, I'm job hunting, and fresh SI wouldn't look so professional under my interview clothes. :roll:

AND I know how badly I would feel afterwards.

AND I don't want to have to explain it. Especially to my roommate.

AND I would really feel like I let myself down. I know I can cope without.

Huh, I guess there's more to it than my long, unbroken record.

I knew she would find out.
And feel horrible.
I don't want her to feel horrible.

i didn't want to have scars on my arms so i can still wear short sleeves. i knew i was trying to run away from feeling sad but that wouldn't actually stop the sadness. i cried instead, and hugged my cat and then made a weird present for father's day.

because I had nothing i could use to take care of the cuts (& couldnt buy anything, it was the middle of the night) so I knew it wasnt worth the risk.
...then one day I realised that the people you see in waiting rooms and car parks and on trains are really far more interesting. That they all have whole novels inside them, a fabric of scar tissues, photos and memories. They are comedies and tragedies and - more often - both at the same time.
