i'm sorry to hear you're going through this. life can feel very stressful and depressing sometimes so i do empathize with you. when i say cutting is not the way to handle your anxiety i'm not telling you anything you don't already know. you know cutting isn't good for you but you do it because you have emotional pain and nothing else has helped. i get it. and i don't judge you. you have nothing to be ashamed of. if you are a teenager i urge you to confide in a trusted adult. if you feel you cannot tell your parent(s) then how about the school nurse? you know us nurses have a lot of compassion. we truly care about helping people. if not the school nurse then what about a school counselor teacher your pastor or church youth counselor? you see there are many many adults in your life who would like to help you and would not judge you for what you are doing. you can trust us. honest. if you are an adult then please confide in a healthcare professional your spiritual advisor or a trusted friend. again everyone who cares about you will be willing to help you. in answer to the second part of your question cutting is not a sign of suicide. cutting is basically an anxiety disorder. if you have asperger's syndrome and also feel depressed you may very well also have some issues with anxiety. this is not uncommon. you are not alone. many people engage in activities like cutting to relieve anxiety. however there are better ways to manage anxiety and depression. please tell someone about this so you can get treatment. you deserve to enjoy your life not live in pain. wishing you well!
