Wrong diagnosis? Am i mad?

I've been diagnosed with depression and taking medication for it...

But I'm starting to doubt my diagnosis,

i self harm and have fairly low self esteem

I always dream of being raped or hurt in an accident, or something where I'm hurt through no fault of mine, I've wanted to be ill, break a bone etc

I've spent times of my life being a carer, i have had many incidents where I've received the 'wrong kind of attention' grooming online, and stuff

relationships i have found myself in aren't ideal, i don't think i Will ever be able to be in a genuine relationship

i find it difficult to understand the idea of a future

despite feeling a lot better i still think there things and if i think of or see pills i always think of ODing, not that i Will but it's like an obsessive intruding thought i get

i have had issues with food, used to be bulimic, and when i feel rubbish or not sure how i feel i stop eating, i don't know if it's a form of punishment or form of control

i need people to need me and use me and hurt me but i don't know why?

I'm too scared to talk about there funny mad thoughts that i get?

I just want to be normal

it feels like the things i think are abnormal and not right, am i just depressed, am a psycho?

Any thoughts or if you could share similar experiences it would be really helpful

Thank you

    You're very clearly depressed and may have some sort of personality disorder. You need to see a doctor, especially if you've gone as far as self-harm and suicidal idealization. Do you have a friend or someone you can talk to, that would never judge you and that you trust? I would tell them as well about how you feel.

    I've been where you are, it's a scary way to feel, and you feel like there's only one way out...

    You should not be scared to share what you feel, many people feel the same way as you do, and you won't get better unless you talk about it. You are obviously holding pain inside, or you would not be self-harming for the release.

    Constantly remind yourself that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem and YOU WILL get better!
