Depression?: You need to see a psychiatrist to make sure you are not depressed. Talking with your doctor may also help you find an answer. Do not wait.

Self harm: I agree with my colleague that seeing a psychiatrist or psychotherapist may help you answer this question. Self-harm can take many forms, and be triggered by many different things. Sometimes these triggers can seem elusive, but they're present. Please don't wait to see a mental health professional -- help is available and you can free yourself of this if you're willing. Good luck to you.
