I have been having depression since a year now and haven't consulted a doctor yet and now things are getting worse and I'm having a lot of anxiety issues as well. i try to control myself but sometimes I cannot control from self harming. And recently I have been having terrible suicidal thoughts as well. I don't know what I can do to get over with these feelings.

Loss of interest, decreased concentration and attention, feeling low and disturbed sleep or appetite are some of the signs of depression. Consult a psychiatrist who will assess you in detail. If you are feeling suicidal or hopeless, seek professional help immediately.
Try some relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation and deep breathing. Indulge in hobbies. Spend time with people close to you.
