last time i wanted to si, i didn't because.......
The last time I wanted to self-injure I didn't because of the consequences. My therapist says I will have to go back and live in residential treatment if I do cut again. I don't want that because currently I'm living happily with my boyfriend. I also know that if I do start, it will be hard to stop again. How I did SI was I use "distraction" techniques. I posted on here. I talked to my boyfriend. I took a Klonopin. I watched some TV. I read a book. I got some fresh air. I wrote an email to my therapist. Finally I went to sleep. Yayyyyyy!

because C. told me to get better, even though he doesn't know what's wrong with me. he looked like a kicked puppy when he said it, and every time I have the urge I see his face...I can't let him, anyone else I care about, or myself down...

because I am learing to tolerate the distress
We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving… We drink coffee, a lot of it. We are on birth control, Prozac, and multivitamins… We are relentless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We are the daughters of the feminists who said, “You can be anything,” and we heard, “You have to be everything." - Courtney Martin.

1. I was too tired. couldn't be bothered
2. I knew i wouldn't feel like it in an hour or 2 & it wasn't worth it.

...then one day I realised that the people you see in waiting rooms and car parks and on trains are really far more interesting. That they all have whole novels inside them, a fabric of scar tissues, photos and memories. They are comedies and tragedies and - more often - both at the same time.
