Hey there,
If you stopped taking the medicine without a doctors orders you need to reschedule an appointment with the doctor so the two of you can talk about some of the options you have available. Going off medication without a doctors orders is really dangerous and it can lead to you feeling more depressed. The doctor will talk to you about the best thing for you to do and if necessary get you back on your medicine.
As for your thoughts of self harm I think you should consider using the Alternatives to Self Harm. I know that it might seem like the alternatives won't work but if you use them enough your body can adjust to them. It takes time for your body to turn to the things on that list as coping skills like it turns to the self harm.
Do you know what triggers your urges to self harm? If you can work on figuring that out you can work on getting to a better place. Something that might help you work on identifying your triggers is writing. Also, it might be a good idea if you considered going to counseling. A counselor will give you someone to talk to about everything that you are dealing with and help you to start working on finding a resolution to all of the issues.
I hope this helped and I am wishing you the best of luck.
