Answer 1

give medication a go, it will do less harm than cutting yourself thats for sure!

Answer 2

depression has a bad name there is always a reason for it ...often your body needs support..its telling you.something but those other thoughts get the upper hand ...art in any form can help.. be nice to yourself give yourself treats like you were looking after someone else.these are small things you may also need iron..there is a good book called blessed by illness.. ...it could also be the creator of a transformation....best wishes

Answer 3

Its very difficult when you have so much turmoil inside and noone can see it.  Self harming is a way of expressing how much hurt you feel but you need to find another way of dealing with your emotions. Sometimes if there are lots of things upsetting you it gets confusing so try and find just one thing that your struggling with and talk to your mum about it. Talking about how you feel always helps, always.

What do you think is wrong?

It sounds like you may have depression. Then again, it could be just a phase. It's good that you're not self harming any more, even though it was an outlet of stress for you.

I think you would find talking to a doctor or counselor helpful. They can refer you for CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) which can help with these things. Talking to someone will really help, whether it's a professional or just a friend/family member. My girlfriend suffers from depression and sometimes just needs someone to sit down and listen to her.

Good luck.
