I am trying not to cut, but I'm ending up back in the same place I'm always in.
I realize now that my cutting is triggered whenever I feel completely alone. Which I think is a really sad reason to cut. Which is when the semesters end and I can't meet with my counselor. When I have no one to talk to. It's harder this time, because my dog, who was really my best friend, my only friend. Died in october and her death has been hard to get over. I've always felt alone, but its never felt this bad. I'm trying not to choose cutting as my option, but it seems to be the only way right now. I hope that made sense.

Yeah, it is making total sense. I'm sorry about your dog. Have you been working with your T about your isolation?

No, I just realized it now. I could never figure out what would cause it. I just knew that I felt really low, I could never figure out why. I have to wait til next semester to tell her about that.

Loneliness triggers me as well. My theory is that once I become completely okay with being lonely, that it won't trigger me, but I cannot figure out how to do that. I decided to quit last time I did it, but my semester is almost over too, so I'll probably be where you're at soon. You can talk to me or anyone on here to try to stave off the loneliness that triggers.

Yeah, I never recognized that it was loneliness that triggered it. I knew I was lonely, but I didn't think that it affected me the way it does. I'm not exactly sure how to become content with being lonely either.

I don't think that it is possible to become okay with being lonely. Some people like to be alone and this is different. I think that the way to fix it is to figure out what you need to do to not feel lonely by making satisfying relationships. What is keeping you from making satisfying relationships?
