I didnt want to. I thought why cause more pain for myself. Id still have to deal with what triggered me in the first place.

Yes, laziness is most definitely an option, lol. Usually what stops me now (I have children so when I slip up it's always at night, and it's been a year now, plus before that 2 years SI free during my pregnancy and first year of youngest kids', my twins' lives) is LAZINESS seriously. I think "oh geez, another night at the hospital getting stitches, waiting in those rooms, getting talked to like crap, convincing them that after 20 years I *really* don't need to wait an extra 3 hours for some social worker who doesn't know me to come talk to me for 10 minutes just to let me go... I won't be home until 4-5 am, and then of course I've gotta get up at 6 am to start getting the kids going" ... by the time I'm done obsessing about pure logistics it's usually too late for me to do it, get stitches and get home in time, and I end up being able to fall asleep. How sad is that, lol.

beacuse i thought of the people that look up to me but even more so the ones that look down on me.

I thought of kw and how we had a talk about it and I said I was going to get it back under control. That I was si free for so long.

because people do worry.

because kC pointed out my new scars

because I'm starting work in a week and the uniform shirt is short sleeves, and my Dad patrons the coffee shop. Because I decided to go to sleep instead. Because I was not going to let my anger at you for being cruel to me turn into myself being cruel.

cause causing myself pain wasnt going to change the way i felt and id be more in a bad mood dealing with how to hide the si as well as still not having delt with the situation that was causing me problems in the first place.

because I don't want to lose 6 months (& if I make it to 7 I'll have equalled my record, yay!)
...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.

because i don't want my ex (hopefully soon to be bf) to think im crazy or unstable. maybe not the best reason in the world, but a bad reason is better than no reason.

Too much clean time at stake - thoughts of the guilt afterwards made it worthwhile no to act on the urges

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.

++i refuse to SH if it's because of *him. no more stupid reasons. i told myself that just because i couldn't cry doesn't mean i have to bleed to make up for the tears. and, it would hurt him if i did. which means he cares, and thinking that makes me smile. and if i'm smiling i don't need to anyways.....
