i keep teaspoons in the freezer...i hold them on my rist insted.....u get a slight pain so therefore the relief, without the physical harm or danger.
people can only hurt you if you let them
no one can make you feel inferior without your consent
in order to see clearly you hav to open ur eyes
chin up, staying strong

The last time i wanted to si and never, was because i knew that i was starting a new life and was 9 weeks si free, so i was strong and beat my own head by following my heart

I really want to get on top of this.... I managed it once before, but it's so hard!
I wanted to hurt myself yesterday, but I told myself that I'd try not to..... if it got too hard, then I'd do it later, but I wouldn't do it 'right now'..... I had to 'promise' myself that a couple of times, but somehow it worked..... I think it's because I'm not saying to myself that I can't do it EVER.... but I'm saying I'll try not to do it right now...... Don't know if this makes sense or not....

a guest came over and my girly called me to make sure. everyone is checking on me. I've never felt this much love, and felt so lonely at the same time.

I folded the blade up in a napkin and put the napkin inside the hand compartment of my stuffed/puppet tiger friend Mel, and Mel kept it away from me like a good friend would. Then I fell asleep holding Mel, as usual ^.^;
Of course Mel is symbolic to me for a good real life friend of mine... so that helped a lot.
Do you really want to know?

I left the class that was trigering me, found a teacher who is very supportive of me who let me stay in her class and run some errads to keep me busy.
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 locked myself out of my dorm room and waited for my girlfriend to get back and let me in. My blades were locked inside, so I wasnt able to do anything.. and then I wasnt alone anymore, so I didnt want to.

I gave away my knife and I recently got it back (accidentally, kind of, long story...) and now my knife is back in my knife block and my set is complete again. I don't why, but seeing it complete makes me happy and I know if I SHed I'd have to get rid of it and screw up the set again. It makes me happy with it complete, so it stops me SHing.
Weird, I know...

last time i wanted to si, i didnt because i convinced myself it wouldnt help. instead i relaxed my body and tried to get to sleep. and then i couldn't so i just bawled for a bit then curled up and slept.
