I am a great deal older than most of the advisers on this site, so my advice will be somewhat different from what you have received and may continue to receive from others.
Panic attacks, cutting and low self esteem are all symptoms of depression for which you should seek a doctor’s help. Once under a doctor’s care it is possible you will see things in an entirely new prospective.
How do I know this? I too suffer from depression and fight every day from regressing back into the depressive ways of my past. With the aid of medication and the aid of a good therapist I have been able to keep my depression under control. I now see life in an entirely different light. I interpret thing entirely different than I have in the past. I find it amazing how depression affects ones impressions of just about everything.
What I would like you to do is calmly sit down with your mum or your dad and ask one of them to take you to the family doctor. Take the letter you have written us with you to the doctor and let him/her read it. I am positive that after reading your letter the doctor will prescribe some medication to help you feel better while arrangements are made for you to see the appropriate specialist.
These Hot line numbers are also available for you to call. One I recommend is at Boys & Girls Town. The Number there is: 1-800-448-3000. The call takers there are specifically trained to help you and to help you locate professionals in your area to deal with your depression. If you do not live in the U.S. there are similar organizations that can be found on-line in most countries.
You can also go to any hospital emergency room, again bring the letter with you that you have written us. Do not worry about the cost; there are programs to cover the cost. Once the doctor’s read what you have written they will know what they need to do for you to help you feel better.
Lastly if at any time you feel like cutting yourself, don’t. Instead pick up the phone and call 911. Tell the call taker what you are thinking of doing to yourself, they will send the appropriate emergency service to help you. Do not be afraid, they are there to help you.
There is help out there for you; you do not have to hurt yourself to feel something. Please call the hotline for advice. See your doctor or go to the emergency room for help.

I absolutely encourage you to call the hotline posted below at any point in the future when you feel like hurting yourself.
In the mean time, some frames of reference to intellectualize this for you.
Teenage-hood is a time of high emotion and complex stressful situations. You should know, that the high's won't be as high and the lows won't be as low later in life as you develop an adult frame of reference, experience, and are no longer generating hormones at puberty levels. It won't always be as intense as it is now.
Cutting is an action taken to help you cope. Emotions and stress can build you up to a point where you act more by reflex and need than want or thought.
Something that might help is finding a positive or neutral channel. Something that you can actively do to replace cutting which lets you blow off steam and causes no harm.
Video games, losing yourself in a book, bike rides, a brisk jog in the evening (family dogs are great listeners), any of a hundred other things that wouldn't occur to me but would be appealing to you.
I discovered a particular appreciation for music and hot showers (often in conjunction) and when my parents were away I blasted my dad's 2400 watt stereo and steamed up the house.
