I told myself it wasn't worth all the hassle and the consequences.

I told myself to go on BUS and respond to 5 posts before I did anything I got totally sidetracked (I'm good at that.)
My apologizes in advance if the above post makes no sense. I do that a lot.

I guess I just really didn't want to.
Essentially SI free for a 10 years now. Go me!

After all that bus has done for me in the past, I'm giving back. :heart:

I'm over it. Thats a whole other life for me. If I do it again that mean I havent really changed and I wont go back to that place. Plus, he would find out and I'd just die if that happened because he would be disappointed and likely a little bit disgusted.

Because everyone knows now, and will be disipointed in me if I do.
Because everyone knows now, and will make fun of me and hurt my feelings.
Because my best friend loves me, and doesn't want me to hurt myself.
Because a trip to the hospital would set me behind in my collage classes.
Because I don't have blades,
because a trip to the hospital again would cost a LOT
because I want to move on in life
Because I don't want to go even more often to the councilar who thinks I'm a satinist
Because I will never move on in life if I don't quit

Instead I caleld a friend. Unfortunatly I started crying, and he hung up on me, and wouldn't call back even though I left a bazillion messages and called a buncha times. That made things worse and I was franticly searching the house home alone for something to tear myself up with when I found my sleeping pills. (fortunitly I am only allowed access to one at a time, so no I wasn't planning on killing myself.)

So I took a half a pill and went to sleep for 15 hours. When I woke up the voices were gone. :)
