(CW) 13 reasons I won’t hurt myself tonight

In the end they sadly did not manage to convince me this week, but I want to share my reasons for staying strong nonetheless, in the hopes that they may work on me in the future.

1. I deserve to be safe.

2. I would have to hide again.

3. My friends and family would be sad if they found out.

4. I would have to count again from day 0.

5. I would have to buy new compresses.

6. I would carry a mark of this day for the rest of my life.

7. Showering would hurt again.

8. The itch will drive me crazy.

9. I would have given up again.

10. I could find a better use of the time.

11. I would be ashamed of myself tomorrow.

12. I am strong enough that I can live through this.

13. I want to be able to wear short sleeves.
