Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
I understand that you are going through a very difficult time and are feeling depressed and suicidal. From the description of your problem, it appears that you are going through a depressive phase. This is what is making you have these thoughts and self-harming behaviour.
Since you are having such severe depressive thoughts and suicidal ideation, I would suggest that you speak to someone immediately about this. You can share your feelings with a close friend or relative or can even call the suicide helpline in your place.
Even though things seem very hopeless and negative, I'm sure that with professional help you will be able to overcome this depressive phase soon. There is help available in the form of anti-depressant medication and counselling which can mitigate your symptoms. So, please don't hesitate to seek professional help immediately.
Wish you all the best.
Regards,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
