Hello, my name is Sam. There's a lot that I can say about myself, but if you'd like that then you could always message me and we can have a nice cup of tea together :D
I am not very old, so I might not have too much life experience, but I do like to help people. I know that life often throws unexpected blows at people, but I am so extremely optimistic. Hopefully some of my optimism will rub off on the people to whom I am giving advice. I am happy to help with anything! :)

Hello.
I'm sorry to hear this, but I hope I can help. Why do you feel depressed? You need to truly understand your feelings in order to move on. Whether you have issues in your life with love, family, abuse, or anything else, it's important that you realize that these issues are not permanent. I know that you may be dealing with a lot of pain now, but cutting your wrists is only furthering your depression. I'm not a psychologist, but I'm sure that if you could just stop hurting yourself physically, it might lessen your emotional pain as well. Maybe you could try to find another way to release your emotions. Do you keep a journal? If not, it would be a good idea. Also, try talking to your close friends or family about your feelings. Don't let the pain build up inside of you. You are so young right now and this is the time to enjoy your life. Don't let these issues overpower you.
A few years ago I felt really depressed about an unrequited love. The depression consumed me for months until one day I actually grew tired of being depressed. I realized that there was a whole world out there that I could be enjoying, but instead I was choosing to wallow in my misery. After that day, although I was still not over my love, I was able to start moving on. Maybe the thing that is causing pain in your life isn't going to go away right away. Maybe you have no control over it. But the point here is to try to realize that all of these precious years that you are letting pass you by will never return! You'll never be 15 again. Enjoy your life and build your self-esteem right now as much as possible so that you can have a high self-esteem and many fond memories in the future. I would hate to think that when you are older you would have to look back at your adolescence as such a somber period in your life.
Right now is the perfect time to start fresh. Whatever you are using to cut yourself needs to be disposed. Throw it away in a place where you can never get it again. Hide any sharp objects or get them away from yourself. Maybe give them to someone to hide them for you. You don't have to go on living life this way. This cutting will stop the day that you decide that you 100% WANT and NEED it to stop.
Realize that your life is extremely precious and there is so much for you to look forward to! Don't let this beat you. You are young and beautiful. Try to be optimistic about life.
I wish you the best in this.
Take care of yourself
