Kinda proud of myself!

Post by wondercheese » Fri May 14, 2004 5:44 pm

I'm not really sure what happend last night, I remember that I really wanted to SI. Then there is a large blank period (I tend to blackout when I'm really triggered). Ususally when that happens, i wake up covered in SI marks, but this morning, I woke up covered in red marker! NO SI, just marker! Unfortunately, it was permanent marker, and I don't have any alcohol to get it off, so I'm at school covered in marker, but that's better than what I could be covered in!!!! I'm excited about it, it means something in there wants to quit besides just me! I'll wash it off in the lab after classes, there's plenty of alcohol up there, it is nasty lab grade stuff, but it will get marker off. This will be the first time that I blacked out wanting to SI and didn't SI! I hope that it happens like this more often now. I'll have to get a supply of non-permanent red markers!

that's kinda cool.

One time I wanted to cut and I wrote on my wrist with a green sharpie...the sharpie gave me a "natural" high by sinking into my skin...:( (it's edge cuz it wasn't on purpose)...and I got green stuff all over my security animal.

That's great! :grnteeth:

I've done that sometimes - my marker does wash off mostly, but I do feel kind of silly standing in the shower like that :olol:
