I have recently been really struggling with depression. I have felt that I've always had it but it was never this severe. I am 21 and have never cut myself before but I have recently been thinking about it. I used to have thoughts of suicide and ways to do it and cutting myself but never had real intention. I have those same feelings and thoughts now but now the thoughts of cutting myself are getting stronger. I bite the inside of my cheeks and lips so much that I bleed sometimes and eating spicy food burns. I also bite my nails but not just the nails, I bite the skin around my nails and cuticles so much that I start to bleed and putting on hand sanitizer burns. I would also pull my hair and bite my fingers when I would get so angry and upset. I guess biting my nails and the inside of my cheeks/lips is my way unique way of self harming but now the urge to cut has gotten stronger even though I know I shouldn't...
