Suffering from depression

I am a mbbs doc having low mood, lost all interest in activities and life itself after getting diagnosed with cervical and lumbar disc bulge. I am feeling worthless and have anhedonia too. I can't eat anything as I have no appetite and only eat two times a day. I hate my job because i can't indulge myself in it. Everyday feels so exhausting and I feel like I have lost my purpose. Is there any hope left and is it possible to regain my interest as I have only a few months left for the next neet pg?

Mental health problems

When I was 14, I used to self harm in many ways like cutting my skin or burning my skin, cutting off my hair or not eating for days due to my severe depression. I also used alcohol and cigarettes for a mind escape when I was 18 but I got rid of those things. I have not done any self harm in any kind of way in this year but I have been getting a lot of self harm and suicidal thoughts again. I don't feel good mentally and my family doesn't seem to support therapy. I have been like this as a kid and yet they think that i don't need therapy and all. I don't know what to do right now in my life, whom to contact for all of this...is there any guidance or solution that I can use? I know i should get therapy consultations but my family is against it. And i know with my conditions, I'll be put on medicines which my family wouldn't allow probably. Please give me guidance or any help...
