Its tantalising to have a good day then feel awful again. But its how it goes- up and down without obvious reason. If possible, relish the good times at the time, and see them as a rest. Hopefully they will last, but dont expect them to (tho gradually they should, as you get better).
Leave the worrying about the 'whys' to the time with your counsellor, tho there may not be any reason.
Put a very high value on yourself- any other way of relieving tension which isnt cutting is a better idea! Whether its shouting at the wall, slapping paint on paper (doesnt have to be proper 'art'), dancing to loud music or whatever. Or anything that will distract you till you feel a bit better.
Anyway, remember that you have recent experience of feeling fine- this is real evidence you *can* feel fine, and should do more in future.
