Life is a constantly changing experience. Although you may not want change, for better or worst, it is going to happen. You can see it as a bad change, leaving your friends, or you can see it as an opportunity to make new friends, and to make a change for the better. I suggest getting all of your friends contact information, and planning a day in the next year to come back and see them, it will still be sad, but having a day to look forward to will help you through your downs. As far as the cutting gos, it is all mental. It is your bodies way of taking an inner pain and turning it into a physical pain, and creating an outward sign of that pain that you can assimilate with that pain. It is hard, but you need to work hard not to do it, and setting goals will help. I can't tell you what goals to set, because only you know what will motivate you to not cut, but setting them can help you. I hope it all works out, most everything will work out for the best you can make it.

I hope I helped. :D
