Self harm and cutting fall under the same category and DBT and CBT therapy would benefit you greatly. If your therapist is untrained in this type of therapy you may want to find another. There is hope. You are not doomed just because of your father or your past. You can do better and feel better with a little work and finding the right therapist and/or medication. You are still very young. There are many people with bipolar, etc. who are doing great now because they found the right medication and doctors who work with them. I hope you will take all of that into consideration.
Best wishes,
April

Of course you want to end the pain but doing so by ending your life isn't the answer. It only makes things worse. You have a little girl who needs you. You need to believe you have it in you to want to do better and get better. Are you seeing a therapist? If not, please find someone to talk to who can help you through these emotions and someone is is experienced in self-harm and depression. Have you tried taking medication? Sometimes it can take a long time to find one that works. Be patient. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. You don't have to feel this way. You are worthy! You are special. Yes, you are! There is no one else like you. You deserve the best treatment and you deserve happiness!
My daughter went through a rough time very similar to you. She used to be a cutter too. We got her into counseling with a counselor who used CBT and DBT therapy and that can really help! Try to find one who uses these type treatments. She was in therapy for about 2 years. About a year and a half ago she went on a youth retreat and came back to God and has been so much happier. She's a different girl today. I am so grateful to God and everyone praying for her because she was in bad shape a few years ago. There is hope! There is a God who loves you dearly and you mean everything to Him. He doesn't want you to hurt yourself. He wants the best for your life. He doesn't want you to be so unhappy. You can have peace and joy again. Don't give up. There really is hope. Please find a good therapist and if you haven't tried it yet, try God and prayer. I've seen miracles in my own family. I don't know what I'd do without my faith. I will pray for you. I pray you will be able to get your little girl back soon but until then, concentrate on getting well yourself. God bless you, Sweetie. You're in my thoughts and prayers. You can talk to me any time, if you need someone to talk to. I'm a pretty good listener.*Hugs and blessings*
