It won't help me reach my long term goals.
The temporary relief would not outweigh the anger and disappointment I'd have toward/about myself for giving in.
I want to make it to the three year si free point.

For me it encourages my avoiding looking at what the problem is and I don't want to continue to allow my anxieties and fears to control my life.

a dear friend reminded me how much he cared about me and how he hates to see me in that state.

I wanted to be able to look back on how far I've come without making myself angry..

"Kindness is often mistaken for softness and let me tell you,
friends, that is a mistake you don't want to make.
Kind people are not born that way, they do not stumble into it,
kind people are forged in fire and darkness and imploding stars,
they have steel cores. Throw a punch and you're going to break your hand.
Kind people are kind because they know firsthand that life isn't."

because I've come so far and so long coping with life without it. and I don't want to have to see the fear and concern in my mom's face if she found out about it.

I`m tired of being full of ugly scars
I am a poor freezingly cold soul
So far from where
I intended to go
Scavenging through life`s very constant lulls
So far from where I`m determined to go

I don't want to SI as long as I do my internship in a kindergarten, working with really little kids so I distracted myself and took an emergency med till I fell asleep.

Last time I wanted to SI, I didn't because... one of my best friends made me promise to throw my blades away and I did. She also made me promise not to cut, and the last time I did, she found out and got really angry at me in the bookstore and it really scared me, so I don't want that to happen again.
