I realized the urge would pass, and that even if the urges came again, they'd pass too.

So :tongue: to my urges.

I finally realised that I have one friend who really does care, knowing that he was there was enough to stop me.

I don't want to give up after so much time going without.
I don't want to explain the wounds to the kids I babysit.
I'm stronger than I think.
I promised someone I wouldn't.

We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving… We drink coffee, a lot of it. We are on birth control, Prozac, and multivitamins… We are relentless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We are the daughters of the feminists who said, “You can be anything,” and we heard, “You have to be everything." - Courtney Martin.

I gave my tools away.
Last night I prayed and God gave me strength to not hunt down another knife or call my T out of bed for my tools.
The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
A. A. Milne
From book Winnie the Pooh

Last time I wanted to SI, I didn't, because I knew when I had a big shiny 1 Week SI-Free badge the next day, it'd be all worth it. :) (Sorry, really tired, not sure if my grammer is well)

I don't want to break the contract I made with my T. Or disappoint the people that I've made the promise not to si to.

I talked it out with my roommate.

I can't find it, I can't find it!!!

Now I need it more than ever, and it's gone still! My knife, I've torn up my whole room and it's as good as gone. I need it today, now.

I took a nice long walk in the rain.
<center>See you dance away
all this bitter pain
See you move in ways
beyond our days
In devotion I linger
And with drained veins
I falter again


Some deranged and some devour to haunt me down in my darkest hour</center>

I took in a deep breath, half closed my eyes, looked away from the triggering book cover and picked up a new Anne Rice novel, which I shall start reading tonight :)

because i knew doing so would make the urges worse.
because i knew i'd do serious damage, and I didn't want to have to go to the ER.
