so this is my first post here....
I am a college students and it spring break just started on my campus so everyone is home mostly except me and like maybe 40 other students on the entire campus, nobody i really am that close with...
I am scared for the first time to be alone because I dont know what I am going to do with all my free time. I have shopped too much and I have an eating disorder so all this free time is scaring me. For the first time I am feeling so weird that i am thinking of cutting, which seems weird to me because i dont think people think about it before hand, they just do (I lost a friend to this a year ago)
Basically I am wonderingg how people who may be young and live alone are fairing and what everyone does when they have like 2-3 days of nothingness...
It's like I am scared to be with myself....!

" Oh and call people. I'm constantly on my phone when I'm alone. It helps me feel less alone, I guess. Plus, your friends can give you more ideas. "

" Try to look at this as an opportunity tomake some new friends; hang out at the student center or library, or go for walks and try to meet some of the students who stayed. Look at this as a positive, rather than a negative. "
