The last time I saw her, Monday, she was highly concerned for me. Frankly, I was in such bad shape I was shocked that she allowed me to walk out of there at the end of the appointment and I remember thinking, wow, this is so unreal, I can be this bad and still no one cares. That's how it feels. That is why I've put "weary" in my name here. I am so overdrawn and it seems like no one can see how empty I've become and people still keep asking more and more of me when there is nothing left to give.

Sounds like you were taking the sanity quizzes. They maybe should be called measure my mood because they are not a diagnosis but a general indicator of what areas you may need to work on.
Another option is to discuss with your therapists some of the other options instead of self harm that were discussed in the article linked to in an earlier post to this question about the Myths of Self Harming. Perhaps these may be an intermediary that would help to mitigate the urge to self harm.
Glad you found the post helpful. Stay in touch here at Psych Central.
