Hi dear
I'm glad you got the courage to share
There is more to depression than medications
Are you in therapy? Are you cutting as a way to cope with all the pain, emptiness and lonliness you feel? Why don't you have friends? Sorry for all the questions. I'm just trying to get a clearer picture.
Please don't hurt yourself and express everything you're feeling to someone you trust like a counselor or another adult you trust. Living with depression can be challenging but not impossible and hope is so important. Some medications don't help so its important to inform your prescriber. Take it from someone with ang long hx of depression, life is not over because of it. You however have to take a vested interest in your recovery and although you may feel ostracized you should not be ashamed nor be hurting yourself. Hurting ourselves with ugly marks, that will never fade, really does not make things any better.
If you are annoyed at being watched stop the cutting. Or, are you cutting to get the attention you were lacking? It sounds like you're in pain which is normal under the circumstances but try to find healthier coping skills with your providers
Hang in there and use all of the resources available to learn more about what ails you and how you came work towards being in a safer & comforting place
It does exist so please have faith ....
Your friend Rox
