I didn't want to have to walk around in long sleeves in the 90 degree summer we're having.

I knew I could work it out instead, and went and wrote down all my anger and sadness.
Without SI since Nov 6, 2004.


Sleep. Wake up.

I coloured in a colour book. Then later I worked on building a bookcase. Concentrating on something productive helped me feel better.

I went mountain biking to get away from the house and all my triggers and get away from the noise of the city.

I made a list of reasons not to in my place thread.

:redstar: I don't want to lose my days.
:redstar: I don't want to let certain people down. I know they'll understand if I slip, but they'll be proud if I hold on.
:redstar: I don't want more scars.
:redstar: I don't want to take that step backwards.

To which Twinky added:
:pinkstar: You're stronger than that
:pinkstar: You deserve more that that
:pinkstar: You deserve happiness and not this

I didn't want to have to explain it to anyone, and I didn't want to lose how long I have gone without SI.
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.

I'd told my friends I wouldn't unless I talked to them first. And I felt they were at fault, but not consciously or on purpose, so I couldn't. So I wrote them a really long letter that I may or may not send. Even though they were really only maybe 20 feet away from me in anither room.

Because I didn't want to lose my days, I'm on day 76, on day 100 it's the start of a new life for me.

I somehow managed to force myself to get up and get some lunch, and I ended up tidying the kitchen to distract myself.

I can totally relate, this too is my reason not too or being able to hold back, but sadly the last time was not distracted from but this is the reason for not in the past.

i didn't si because my friend whos younger than me but much more mature texted me and said 'i'll never ask u not to cut, but please remember how many people will be hurt'.

i couldn't hurt him, cos he's wonderful and doesn't ask me not to cut, which is so refreshing. i couldn't hurt my boyfriend. i couldn't hurt my best girl friend.

i also didn't want to be si'ing in the middle of alevels, cos that would add even more stress and i hate having to type (i type in exams) with braclets on, and its too hot for bandages etc

so i curled up in bed and clutched my duvet like a person and listened to pulp and couldnt sleep. so i went and got hot milk and then i could sleep.
