what is going on with me
i really didn't know what to put this under because it has a lot to with a bit of everything. Just this month especially this week i have been horribly depressed and the things that are happening are just making it worse. I used to have a big depression problem about a year ago and i began to cut myself. Lately i have started to cut myself again and i cry a lot and i feel like crawling in a hole and dying. School isn't fun anymore and things that normally wouldn't bother me are. Home isn't very nice either my mom and my sister are having a big war and i'm the reason. my sister is blaming me for stuff and my mom knows it's not true. but that isn't what is worng the problem is i don't know what is wrong.Everything was fine a month ago when i started feeling like this so i din't have any stress or anything bad happening. I want to ask if it's possible that depression can just pop up out of nowhere even if everything was fine? I really want to know if it's just a once in a while thing or if i have a depresion disorder because it does happen a lot but not usually this long and i never feel this bad. what's going on?

You need immediate help from a mental health professional. Cutting yourself is not in any way normal and your feelings of being severely depressed and then fine a few days or a month later aren't normal either.
It's a sign you could be more than just depressed. You might be bipolar as fluctuation in moods especially from being fine to being depressed and harming yourself is a big indicator that this may be going on.
Document in a diary how you have been feeling, scary thoughts, when you have been cutting and what caused you to. Take note of when your moods have jumped from one to the other.
If you start feeling elation and complete happiness one moment, high energy that isn't normal, rapid thinking, rapid talking, weird or delusional behavior etc get to a hospital emergency room as it's signs of bipolar and a crisis.
Does depression just op out of nowhere? Nope. It's almost always a genetic issue and there are subtle signs and if they aren't caught as is the same with bipolar or other mental health issues it starts screaming for your attention and making itself known. By then it can be too late to avert a crisis.
What I would like you to do is tell someone you trust be it a parent, relative, counselor, teacher in confident what is happening.
Give a ton of examples and be honest about your feelings going up and down and that you are back to cutting again. This will warrant a visit to the hospital emergency room where a psychiatrist will do an assessment and find out what illness you have.
The doctor will likely prescribe medication and follow up. However, if they think you may be in crisis they can keep you for 72 hours or longer if need be to keep you safe from your own self and others. They will make sure you are fine before deciding on releasing you.
And yes, this is a medical emergency that you need to have checked out IMMEDIATELY. I would tell your parents and head over to the hospital. Even if the doctor just talks with you and you head home it's got to be done and to them was reason to go to the hospital.
I'll level with you I've been in the mental health ward for bipolar for longer than 72 hours. What you are telling me now if not looked into at a hospital could lead to the possibility of a crisis and being there longer than you want.
One way or another this will be resolved by medical professionals. You need to be honest and deal with this like an adult. Your health is something you can't play with.

Of course it can just pop out of nowhere! Depression is considered to be a medical disorder, and some of the causes are definitely physical. You might have a chemical imbalance that causes you to get depressed for no real reason, and it can happen any time. Since it is an imbalance in the brain, it will probably stay with you unless you get treatment for it.
You need to talk to your mom about this and try to get her to take you in to see a psychologist or a psychiatrist. If she doesn't see a need to, go to a school counselor and explain how you feel to him or her. The counselor could probably arrange a conversation with your mom. It's really important that you get treatment for this because it could get worse over time.
