Hi there, welcome to TeenHelp! Thanks for reaching out, and I'm sorry you're struggling right now.
I want to say that the examples Dez gave were just that: examples. You need to figure out what there is worth living for. A pet? Your family? Friends? A special someone? Sports? There is always something worth living for, and I would suggest taking the time to write about it. Sit down at a table and just write for fifteen or twenty minutes. Let your mind take over, don't worry about any mistakes you make with your writing, just let it all come naturally.
Dez also suggested the list of self-harm alternatives and coping method, so I would recommend taking a look at that. If it's possible, I would suggest reaching out to a friend, family member, or another trusted adult for support. Have you ever sought out treatment for your depression? Are you on antiphsychotics? If not, these are things I seriously suggest checking out because they can improve the quality of your life.
Wishing you the best of luck, and feel free to reach out again if you need to.
