Get seen now: You're already in the health care system deep enough to have had a MRI of your brain. Tell you physician about this. Often people who cut are in impossible life situations and he/she may well be able to help you get out. You're almost a grown-up and you can find something much better than death. Suicide helplines are very good at helping people get thoughts & life situations better. Be brave.
