Just struck me that there was a thread about something similar on life-after;
http://busmail.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=36757
Its about what made people decide to quit, may be of interest

i was mad at my mom. passive agressive seemed better than self injury. i took her best, sharpest sewing scissors and stabbed them into the wall.
she never knew, but she did throw away the scissors that night.
they were too dull.

too tired, not a good enough reason, and also didn't wanted to ruin my almost two years of being SI free... very long time... so is laziness an option?

I distracted myself, and kept putting it off, until I got the opportunity to talk about what was upsetting me, and now the urge isn't as strong anymore.

I was sitting in an advanced applied geophysics class.... and I wanted to do ANYTHING soooooo badly.... I would have just left... but the class only has like 6 people in it... so it would have been too obvious.

I watched friends videos and then curled up in a ball in bed and cried.

I have really wanted to SI every day, all week. Had a rough (sp?) time lately. The only reason that I haven't done anything is because I can't stand to see the pain in my boyfriend's eyes. It kills him everytime I cut.

Why I didn't:
I reminded myself of the promise I made: to not si again in the way that I had done that day, in December, to the doctor who treated me. She held my hand and prayed for me.
If I did si in the same way in December, I would be breaking that promise to her and to me. I would be letting us both down. Whatever happens, I don't want to do that.
I am trying to create things that can be symbolic of the promise I made so that when I hit a rough patch I can draw on the strength and advice she gave me.
Some people in the past, have not been as genuine as she was - if I hurt myself, it would be an insult to her kindness.

When I wanted to SI today, I didn't, and made a cake instead. Then I just ate cake

And it's hey babe, with your guardian eyes so blue,
Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true,
I've been so far from here,
Far from your loving arms,
Now I'm back again, and babe it's gonna work out fine.
