Nightmare:
Listen to Solumina and the others; they are telling you the same things that I would have told you myself.
If I were to take a guess as to what the trigger was, it was most likely your friend's death. I imagine that cutting and such was your way of grieving, and you shouldn't be embarrassed that it depressed you. Losing someone like that is SUPPOSED to depress you. When my mother died 2 1/2 years ago, I couldn't feel anything but sadness and anger for at LEAST six months later, and it took me nearly two years to feel anywhere near normal again. :/
It also took some one-on-one therapy and some time on the other side of the country away from my family for me to be able to figure out how to handle it. [On that note, don't be scared of therapists; if they are the right kind, they will guide you in helping you help yourself. They are usually very friendly. If they aren't, then they aren't a very good therapist. :P ]
Ophelia: While I agree with you that one shouldn't trust anyone on the Internet about mental health issues, I'm not a teenager; I'm 29 years old, soon to be 30 this coming August. ^^;;;
