I really want to cut :( please help me?

Okies....I'm three days out of FairFax mental hospital. I JUST got out so I don't really want to go back. That ANDDD I promised my girlfriend that I wouldn't cut....I just feel so lonely when I'm alone. Even though I do have friends and a girlfriend and people who care. I just feel really down and alone and then dumb and all the nostalgia comes back and the pain...I don't want to live :( The mental hospital really didn't help...

I just heard an interview with Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumkins and he was talking about cutting. He explained that it's a measure of control. That the cutter does not feel like he/she has any control of their life. I suppose suicide is just a more drastic version of the same principle.

So I would suggest finding ways to get control of your life and destiny. Maybe you could go backbacking with a friend for a couple weeks or something like that. I never understood feeling lonely so I can't really help more than that. Good luck though.
