last time i wanted to si, i didn't because...
* the last time i did last week was a slip and another time would mean i'm going back to relying on it. i wanted to keep counting past 10 months and not start back at 0.
* i wanted to cut which would mean having to hide my arms again in hot weather.
* i didn't want to have to explain it to my sister and feel her disappointment and worry.
* i thought maybe i was thinking about it in response to my feelings so i tried to figure out what i was actually feeling and what i could do about that.
