TW: cutting and suicide mention
I think I might have depression. I think about cutting my self more often then I’m comfortable admitting and I think I only really have three things keeping me from killing myself: the grief that it would bring the people I care about, funeral costs, and my paralyzing fear of death. The problem is that when I talk about it with my mom she tries to “fix” me with “alternative medicine” and my dad couldn’t give less of a s*** about me. But I’m also scared to see a doctor about it because what if I don’t have it and I’m just faking it for attention

You should look into seeing a psychiatrist. Don’t let it get to the point of self-harm cause trust me, once you start it’s hard to stop.
As somebody who has been down that road and who has many friends who have been down that road: if you’re worried about faking it, you’re not faking it. It potentially means you may still be at the tipping point and could go either way, but if you were faking it, you would KNOW.
