Depression may not: But your other medical issues describe are more likely to. If you have had issues with self harm and alcohol abuse you need to be closely followed during pregnancy.

I am concerned: About your statement that you have "mostly" stopped self-harming. This self-injurious behavior should be addressed prior to becoming pregnant, since pregnancy often adds additional stresses and makes coping more difficult.
