I didn't because I promised someone I wouldn't, I was talking to someone else who was doing a better job than I think I led her to believe at making me feel better, and because I didn't have my preferred tool (gave it to the person I promised I wouldn't SI).

Instead, I talked to my best friend and thought about my promise, and ended up reading a funny thread here on bus to help cheer myself up.

Oh, also I remembered how much it sucked just in terms of the wounds healing the last time I SIed using the method I was thinking of using (mostly it itched like f***, and I still have scars despite it being milder than what I usually did when I was SIing regularly).
Hey Jude,
Don't make it bad.
Take a sad song
And make it better.
Remember,
To let her into your heart,
Then you can start,
To make it better.

I decided I could hold off, and had no real reason to SI.

I didn't because I was sad. I only do it when I'm happy or bored.

Because I wanted to si over a person and an event and I decided that they weren't worthy of my attention, let alone self-harm. Best revenge was being happy, at least in this case.
Act in such a way as to make yourself feel capable and effective

The change starts now.

If in doubt, don't

It was because I wanted to be a good example for my friend Jessica, who had cut herself once on purpose and I didnt do it because it reminded me too much of her and what it was making her do. I didnt want her to become like me and not able to handle herself. I didnt want that at all so I didnt do it that one time.

:oops: This may not be the right reason to stop, but when I want to SI I think about my boyfriend and how concerned he would be.
