...because I had to think of others, my job as well as take care of the little one. Just feels like it's building up though atm & I am about to explode... Obviously I can't and I have been here a million times before so trying to use the logic which has helped me through the extreme moments and not dwell on what could happen when I don't have these limitations...

....because I respect myself and my body too much for that now

....because I have no money to go and get stitches and in the past when I've been heavily into SI...I have almost always needed them

....because I don't want the negative attention associated with SI

....because I force myself to THINK before I act....to think of the consequences of my behavior (whatever behavior that may be)

....because life is too short to spend half of it in the psych ward

....because I love myself

b/c while I was debating it my hubby came in and propositioned me for sex. Therefore distracting me from the idea. (i know, tmi)

I didn't because my dog was whining on the floor and I knew both he and I would feel better if I sat down next to him and petted him.

Pets are such lifesavers sometimes.

because I had to babysit <b>again</b> (so planned to try to wail till after) and I just can't do it when I know other people are around or are going to be around (to pick up said child) & then I fell asleep... Now that it's daytime things "seem" a little brighter & I have things I NEED to get done. So there...

Because I realised that it wouldn't achieve anything and that in fact it would only serve to prove the point of the person who had upset me.

Last time I wanted to (today) I tried going to the counselor instead (I'm in school right now). She wasn't there, so I went to the band room, got myself a empty practice room and played my favorite bass really loudly until I calmed down.

my dog was watching

I thought I was the only one who wouldn't do it because pets were watching.

Very often that is why I choose not to, even if it is just my gerbils watching.

because I knew the feeling would pass but the scars would last.

I went and hung out with some guys from work, rather than being alone in the breakroom, and then I called my girlfriend. After that, I still wanted to, but I had kept myself distracted for my whole break, and then it was work time again, so I didn't do anything to myself

i felt like doing it because someone had upset me, i didnt because i felt like i would blame them in my mind for it and i didnt want to

I didn't because I took a REALLY deep breath, told my self "This too shall pass" and let the wave crash over me. Once things stopped swirling, I was okay. Well, relatively okay.

I got out my emergency box out. It has pictures of friends, crossword puzzles & word searches, and little toys and things that make me happy and take my mind off of things.
