Altough it may not seem like it, I suffer from mild depression (Or so my doctor says.) I was a ex-cutter, but I'm thinking about starting again.
Should I go get help Dx. Or just continue pretending everything alrite and jiffy? neutral

I think you should get help. It's not good to pretend things are all good. It won't help you get better. I think it's the best for you, especially if you have support. 3nodding

Is there anyone else that you trust that could help you? Or help you start a conversation with your parents?

Don't start cutting again. How relieving it may feel, or seem, the concequences will just bring you down more. If you cut before, you know what I'm talking about. I have been in a simular situation, and believe me, cutting really never helps. Although it is hard to see from where you stand now. Try to find another outlet. Like painting, jogging or anything that you fancy that keeps your mind of it. As soon as you feel like cutting, just go do that. I always painted, it really helped me!
I believe you should get help. But not in the professional lane. Professionals tend to make you feel labled, and that is not something you want right now. Try to talk about it with your close friends (if your parents aren't an option). What you're doing now (posting about it) is already a great thing! And a step in the right direction.
Never pretend to be alright and jiffy. That will make you lead a kind of double life, the you everyone likes to see, and yourself. You'll end up even more depressed because people only like to see the fake you. Always be yourself, even if it is a mildly depressed self. 3nodding
Sorry for the long post, but I hope it helped a little.

cutting doesn't resolve the problem because it only helps in that moment.. but in the end you'll only hurt yourself more since you'll be scarred for life.. and the problem will be still there... Deal with your problems like a real man (woman).. don't run, it's weak.. I'm sorry to put it this way but I think cutters are really bad and they shouldn't hide for their problems they should just confront themselves with it and deal with it...
Please; i want you to name all things that bother you and cause your depression?
Tell me also whats the worst thing that could happen...

I'm so sorry to hear that youre having a harsh time sad And I agree on the cutting part, but I know how hard it is to keep away from it, as I'm a (ex) cutter myself, cutting only makes things worse.. well, atleast to me since it is something I'm always hiding.
Like Almost_Euphoria said, find another outlet, one that doesn't harm smile
Maybe you should write letters to your parents about it, you don't have to give them to them, but it's a great vent to write about it as if youre writing to a person.
