This isn't one of those "I'm giving up and not going to quit" posts. I sincerely want to know everyone's reasons for wanting to quit. No reason is stupid. No reason is too small. I just want to know what makes you want to quit. (Or what finally made you decide to quit if you already have quit)
Why do you want to quit si?? __________________  Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name ~Alanis Morissette |

The more I cut, the more I agree with the demons inside me that hate me..that don't deal with life, that hate reality. Cutting means keeping myself isolated from the life that I truely want.

Angela,
I wanted to quit along with you because like you said, I thought it would be pretty cool if we quit together. But it's the wrong season for me to be trying to quit. I'm sorry.

Wendy,
You don't owe me an apology. Your decision about si is about YOU, not me.  And you have to be ready, all in your own time. __________________ Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name ~Alanis Morissette |

I want to quit because I've already scarred my body, probably for life, and each time I was going deeper and larger than the time before, and I can't take any more scars, I'm running out of room. So I decided to quit. Going on 5 weeks now without, and have only felt the urge 2 in the past three weeks. So I think I'm doing good.

I wanted to quit because I made a promise to myself to try to do things that I know are healthy and good for me. I have had a lot of success with not cutting though my desire is very high right now. However, I spoke with my T and told her the things I needed to do to take care of myself so I don't get to a cutting place. Better med management by me, eating at least three nutritious things per day, Drinking my water, taking my vits, slowing down at work and processing before acting, having a mid day "meal" away from my work or desk. Not while driving in the car being paged with 2 cell phones ringing, but in solitude. I see I am in danger of starting up again. The longer I go the easier it gets. I am motivated by scars slowly fading. I am motivated because I know it's not good for me and I want to be healthy.

I want to quit because I have to. The meds I'm taking and this major reality check I had the first of December have made me see things a little more clearly. I cannot SI and take this med.
Forced quitting I guess, but I'm still glad. Take care all, Kimberly. |

these are all such cool reasons. KTP, you mean the warfarin? Yes, if that is it it could kill you.

Yep Wisewoman...that's the dreaded drug. Forced me to quit. I guess in this case it's a woman who wants to quit SI'ing's best friend. Sigh. But I'm still glad (in a way)....
hope all of you are hanging in there! much love, Kimberly. |

because my partner will leave me if i don't quit.
which i am totally resenting. because i really need it. and because i don't like being under his thumb like that, being given an ultimatum. i know that sounds all wrong, cos i should be grateful i have a good reason to stop... and that he cares enough to get tough, but hey, that's the irrationality of human feelings i guess! |

i used to always put the cuts on my ankles so nobody would see them. but the last time i did, i had cut so deep that the socks were sticking and i had to let them air out while i slept. i thought nobody knew i cut, i would always say i had accidently scraped myself. well, that morning my son came in my room while i was in bed and he saw my ankles and started crying. he said, " ARE YOU TRYING TO CUT THEM OFF?!" thats when i decided to stop. i just hate the fact that it took him seeing it to realize how bad it was. (even though i have cut a few times since then on my ribs, i do not intend to revisit my ankles) and i havent cut at all in over 4 months.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
