Welcome to PC. I hope you find us really helpful and supportive. Have you seen a Dr. about your depression? I have found medication to be very helpful in managing my depression, and there's nothing to be ashamed about in asking for help.

Re the cutting. There's nothing to be ashamed of there either. Thousands of people do it. It's a coping mechanism. Ok so it's not the healthiest of coping mechanisms but it works in the short term. I used to self injure pretty badly, but have been si free, with one minor slip, for 3 years now. So just because you're cutting now when you're under stress doesn't mean it's something you will do forever.

Take care.
