Answers:
Sounds like anxiety/depression and obsessive thought patterns to me. Of course, I am no doctor---you need to see your doctor as soon as you can so that he/she can recommend counseling, or even medication if need be.
Just remember, you are NOT crazy, and you are NOT alone. There are many websites out there that have great support networks for the issues you are dealing with. Millions of people have these kinds of issues---including myself.
Please talk with your parents as well, to make them aware of your situation so that they can help you in any way possible.
To calm down right now:
*Take 5 slow, deep breaths.
*Starting with your face, relax your muscles....make sure your forehead is smooth, relax your throat, your neck, and jaw...keep working your way all the way down to your feet.
*Every time a negative thought (about cutting or anything else) comes into your head, shut it up. Be tough on it. Then distract yourself with a movie, a book, or call a friend.
And make sure to get some help. You will be glad you did.
Good luck. :)
