Hello sir/mam I am going through depression and I live in a constant fear of my mom dad hurting me, they won't let me go anywhere, and I can't live at home confined like this, well now I am not sure I can do good in outer world also, I did cut my arm 7-8 times today only. It's a mere scratch and very little blood came out, and I didn't feel anything, I literally don't wanna live, unable to help myself, thoughts of self hurt keep me calm. What should I do?
