imagine the next time you feel upset, wanting to si etc.
write here what you could say to yourself in your head, to help with how you're feeling.

don't do it. scars are ugly and you'll never forget it.

then again... i usually say different things each time, but i reckon that would be enough to stop me. i have *a lot* of self-control; which is probably quite good.

Take your time. Sit down and feel your feelings. What do you want to feel right now? There's no need to block it out, no need at all to be afraid of what's inside you.

Hey you! What are you going to do after this? Hide it? Pretend like nothing's wrong again? No, you're not going to do that because you're tired of it. Think about how many people you've affected by doing this.. teachers too! Think about your reputation!! Remember where you come from.... your heritage... Remember who you're representing when you step out into the world, when you feel like SI'ing, think of what Mom and Dad would say if they were right next to you, watching you... helpless. Is that what you want? No, you're better than this.... so much better.

wow, those are great.

Yup, this is a great thread -- it's good to have thought about what to say beforehand. It's harder to come up with anything when you already have the urge.

Breathe. It'll go away. You're worth stopping.
