Mental illness

2018-01-19 18:10:19
Years ago I started to self-harm, feel empty, sad, worthless, useless, etc. I started having suicidal thoughts. So since I was worried, I went on the internet and did the tests to find out if there was something wrong with me and it turned out that according to their test I might be depressed, that I might have borderline disorder and other personality disorders. So I would like to know if it's wrong or if I really have to worry and have a treatment
