I know I don't need to- it's just a feeling and I can accept it for what it is and choose not to act on it

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.

because it would have come off as manipulative and done me more harm than good.
because i didn't want to lose so much time SI-free.
because i didn't want to lose credibility in the eyes of my T and pdoc.
because i didn't want to have to care for wounds.
because it would have given my friend something more to worry about, and she doesn't need that.

bloodstains on sleeves don't look very good on stage
...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.

Because I knew if I started I would never stop, and crying is better for me, so I crawled into bed and sobbed.

i don't want my irl friends to have to take care of me as much as they do.

i'm at my summer job as a camp counselor, if it takes me a while to answer, its not because i'm ignoring you...just don't get on a computer much.
