I used to bite myself when I was stressed. I have now turned into a cutter. Get some psychiatric help.

I see that you are 13 years old. You are in puberty and that is a difficult time for a girl. Speak to your pediatrician the next time you visit him and see what he suggests. You are not crazy. It is just this time of your life that is crazy and talking to someone who understands will help.
