Hearing the sadness in JM's voice when I told him I had slipped.

Knowing how much I let him down- I hate letting him down.

The feeling of being able to sit outside in a tank top and shorts and not have to worry about new cuts or scars.

My b/f makes me try, so does my parents. I want to make them proud of me. Also thinking about graduating next year and feeling like I have accomplished something, completed something good, that makes me want to try too. I want to keep on showing them all that I am capable.

At the moment i am managing not to SI because the fear of having to explain it to my mum when i go on holiday with her in September is greater than the desire to cut. I am hoping that by the time i get back from the holiday i will have not cut for so long that that will then serve as the insentive not to cut any more.

What makes me try is not having any new scars to have to hide. And having my parents proud of how I'am doing.

I have six reasons to keep on trying and they are my nieces and nephews because I want to be around for them a long time and be the best aunt I can be.

i try because i know there is a lovely world out there and one day i will really be part of it. little nice things add up, so quite often it is the smallest thing that can get me out of bed - this morning it was the prospect of going on the internet. (at prev times it's been - to watch tv, to check the letterbox, etc)

Teaching. And the stuff that goes with teaching, like the unknown things to cope with- the flying gazebo :roll: , the building works, the new students, the parents. But it cheers me up, and keeps me going.
