Stop cutting: PUT down the thing you cut with. Take up singing at random or wear bubble wrap and jump at the wall ((the big bubble wraps, doesnt work with the small ones <.<; )), ask yourself why you have become what you are and try and fix it.
You need to be excited.
You need sleep.
Food is suppose to be a vital part of human life.
Hiding feelings...I honestly see no problem with that one, its natural to hide your feelings at your age from people like someone you think/know you love.
Once again, your only allowed to cut the cake, not yourself.
Talking isnt all that amazing, thou i admit without other people to talk to, that can deepen this depression you have. So talk to people, online or in real life.

Sounds like you could use a little counseling.
Depression is something that shouldn't be overlooked, and talking to a non-biased party like a psychologist can be a big help.
As far as not eating, I know how that feels. I got REALLY thin because I just didn't want to eat. It felt like a waste of my time, and I was always so bored when I did eat. But... if I went to bed and remembered I hadn't eaten, I'd get up and make myself go eat something decent, at least.
Cutting... well... you sound like you want to stop. My suggestion?
Wear short sleeves. If you can't cover it, you're less likely to do it. Having to explain/make up lies sucks, and also, don't keep anything you can cut with where you normally cut.
I used to cut in bed, for example, I'd keep scissors, razors, etc. on the table next to my bed. A good step to stop would be to take those out of my room altogether so they're not easily accessible without having to walk through the house and hide them to carry them back into my room. That's actually a decent deterrent.

Those are typical signs of depression, but to be sure you should talk to a doctor. Don't simply go on personal experiences of other people as a diagnosis for a medical condition.
To stop cutting? Well, the only way to stop is to stop having the desire to do it. I suggest keeping a journal, and writing down every time you have the urge to cut. Also, write down how you were feeling before you got that urge, and what happened. After a while, I bet you will be able to see what kinds of things trigger you.
You could start an online journal with a completely different screen name to any you use on other sites. This way there's no fear of a friend or family member finding your journal. You could keep it private, or open to ask people for advice. Just make sure you get your feelings out. Keeping bad feelings inside will just make you feel worse. All that negative energy isn't good for you.
Another thing you could go is wear a rubber band around your wrist. When you get the urge to cut, snap it. It hurts, but it won't leave marks.

You might want to find the source of your "depression". You could be exaggerating or siding with the term of depression to easily associate your feelings rather than simply feeling heavily discouraged (applying softer terms to your hurtful feelings may make the worrying of if you're depressed or not cease or diminish in infestation).
I also suggest counseling. Personally I believe cutting is a physical habit to distract yourself from the mental pain you have currently.
Lack of sleep, appetite and loss of interest in things you once loved are signs of depression. This could be due to your filtering of events that led you to these sort of feelings or your core belief distorting your thoughts to believe or assume certain things that aren't really there.
Anti-socializing is part of the vicious circle of your error-thinking.

Everything above is my theoretical thoughts. Maybe if you told us a bit of how life in general is going.
