Answers:
Dear Megan,
One of my friends Terisa has depression too. Another 2 of my friends cut. So i kinda understand. But not really. My friend Terisa is here. I can get her to say something:
This is Terisa typing here. I went to a therapist, not very fun. Exercises like thinking of clouds while breathing in and out kinda slow really help, well kinda. But what i figured out is friends are everything and pets are a lot too. I got a kitten to help me, she bites me a lot, but it's all good. Over and out. Bye!

a psychiatrist can help you way more than we can here. there's nothing wrong with getting help. be it medication or talk therapy, or both. good luck, take care of yourself.
See site below for natural help with depression.
If you take tests I assume you are seeing a Dr for this? Why isn't the Dr explaining what these tests mean. If you are trying to do this on your own you probably are not going to succeed.
One of the things you are going to have to figure out is why you mutilate yourself - self hatred?what? Are you old enough to walk away from your abuser? If you are and don't then you are just helping to continue this cycle.
You need to find a therapist that is trained to help you work through your issues. The sooner the better.
Screw lables, you're depressed and reacting to being abused. Find a good therapist you trust, and start to work this out. Even though you may cut because of frustration, and not to kill yourself, this can be dangerous and cause infections, or worse. Please, seek help if you already haven't. Yes, there are different kinds of depression, but don't focus on a personal lable right now, focus on yourself getting better.
I've been there and it sounds like severe depression. You definatly need to see someone about getting on some meds and the cutting. Those things dont go away on their own. Just remember its a chemical thing, NOT a you thing.
Your answer is not on a website like this.
You need one-on-one encounter with a skilled professional.
Go to the Emergency room and get a referral to the local mental health facility.
There is so much that can be done for you.
