YES you need help I know cutting is different from suicide.
Look in the phone book usually there is a number you can call and talk to someone confidently. If you are wanting to kill yourself go to the ER.
I have suffered with depression since I was a teen. I am now in my 30's. A mental hospital may not be necessary but a visit to a psychiatrist and a therapist is what you need for the help you require. Please talk to someone at home that can go to bat for you and make sure you get a therapist that has dealt with cutting.
A psychiatrist or therapist can tell you if you need hospitalization. They may admit you for a couple of days if they feel you are suicidal. (and it sounds like you are).
I was hospitalized at 14 but did not continue therapy/meds when I left. That was the wrong thing to do,. I attempted suicide several times and suffered for many years needlessly. I am now on medication that allows me think before I act on suicidal thoughts.
I know the thought of hospitalization is scary. Many people think of this horrid place where they tie you down and give you shock therapy. If you are not out of control they will not restrain you, and in most cases they medicate you only temporarily Out of control meaning trying to run away, actively trying to hurt yourself, harm staff. as for shock therapy; they won't even discuss it until you have tried oral medication for a while. In there you will also realize you are not the only one who feels the way you do. I always found I felt better in the hospital because I could talk about my feelings which no one at home wanted or needed to hear.
Yes, you need help. There are some wonderful people out there trained to help you. Cutting is not the answer to your problems. Get help NOW.
You need to see a doctor.
Yes you do need help. Where are your parents or care givers?
It wouldn't hurt. It'd certainly help.
