Hi,
I live with depression and have been through what you describe. If it's any consolation hun, you're not alone even though it may feel like it, lots of people go through it.
I think you need some time out from your everyday life, weather its work or education that you're in. If you carry on trying to keep up a pretense, as you pointed out, there's a danger you may end up breaking down totally and it will be harder to get back up again.
Go to your dr asap and explain the situation. If he or she is already aware of your problems then let them know how bad things have got and that you need more support.
There's probably not going to be any quick fix Im afraid, but there are medications or therapies like counselling available that you can help you to feel better, and give you someone you can trust to talk to.
You dont have to be 100% honest with everybody and go into all of your personal details, but you dont have to pretend you are feeling great either. Its very exhausting keeping up a mask so why not just try saying something like "Ive been feeling a little low at the moment...Im not sure exactly why" and leave it at that.
Try and keep yourself as busy as you can to try and distract yourself from negative thoughts. I find long walks often help lift my mood when nothing else can.
Good luck and take care.Health Question & Answer

You need a good therapist. Try to find someone in your area that works on a sliding scale basis. also, for the cutting part perhaps you should channel those tendencies with a group that can give you what your looking for in a safe sane and consensual way. google the name of your city with the word munch after it.Health Question & Answer

You can always talk to me. Right now I have to go into Boston for a women's organization meeting Code Pink book club the book were are reading is "If Women Ran the World, Sh*t would get Done." But I want to talk to you later, send me an email and I will send my real email address to you so we can talk.
I am going through depression, anxiety, panic and ADD, and I am a male feminist. I think we could help each other, I am not sure but maybe, I am also a good listener and I see a therapist onm a weekly basis, like this afternoon. But please tell me more about you and send me a message email.

I hope you actually go out and find someone to help you.
I went through a similar emotional cycle in my early years.
I was always full of hate, anger, anxiety, fear and depression. I had no idea what was "wrong" with me.
I wanted to hang myself, but I did not want to die.
I just wanted the lonely abyss of depression to go away.
Then, a turning point. I got in trouble with the law. I wanted to end it.
It was a charge that I was not responsible for, but I took the blame for a "friend."
So I went out, found a clinic. I spent the next year of my life in weekly therapy sessions and occasional Group therapy sessions.
It took me a few years to really find out about ME.
I realized I was carrying so much negativity that I was suffocating myself.
I learned to find reasons for my emotions. I talked myself through the sadness and loneliness. The therapist was there to guide me, not to FIX me. I really opened up, but it took me a year to trust the therapist.
I don't feel damaged or alone anymore.
I have an open heart, I am happy, I love myself and I love to help others... A complete change/turn around from my previous self.
Please seek help. Talk about everything on your mind.
I am proof that it works!
take care ?
