HI, thanks for the query. Are you a male or female? since when have you these symptoms? Well, some of your symptoms like contemplating suicide, self injurious behaviour, being unhappy can be due to depression; or it may very well be reactions to stress or maladaptive coping to stressors. What can be done is you first need to confide with your closed ones the problems faced by you; followed by a Psychiatric consultation where a detailed history & a treatment plan to improve your coping strategies. Also, if required you will be prescribed some medications like SSRI (antidepressants) depending upon your profile. Please do get back to me in case of any extra help. Good Luck
