Depression and anxiety
I've been suffering with depression since my early teens. I've been self harming for years and have often suicidal thoughts and have attempted a few times in the past. I have a major fear of being abandoned and being alone and I have a short temper. Sometimes I'll do wreckless things with knowing the result of doing so, often to give myself a reason to hurt myself or feel ashamed to hate myself more and give me more reason to make myself believe I should be alone and hated.
