| Colorful is a very nice movie that deals with depression. Even though these 3 series don't exactly fit your criteria, they may be worth checking out aswell: Welcome to the NKH, Haibane Renmei and Ano Hana. If you're also interested in manga, Oyasumi Punpun is exactly what you're looking for. |

| Welcome to NHK http://myanimelist.net/anime/1210/NHK_ni_Youkoso! Admittedly there is no self harm but it is very depressing a lot of the time and suicide does become a major theme later on in the anime. Kokoro Connect http://myanimelist.net/anime/11887/Kokoro_Connect Might seem cheerful at first but it really isn't and there isn't a single arc where one of the characters is not depressed over something |

| Orange (I watched it) Aoi Bungaku Series (Didn't watch, but at least episode 1-4 is about suicidal thoughts. Should be rough. as it's 18+) |

| I kinda feel weird, because I know a lot of those, sadly most of them suck. The few good ones, in my opinion, are; Tsumi to Batsu: A Falsified Romance, The suicidal moment doesn't happen in the beginning, so, sorry for the spoiler, but it's a seriously good manga. Koe no Katachi, Again, sorry for the spoiler, but you have to read this manga, it's just an amazing manga to open your mind. It made me learn ASL. To you, the immortal, Again, it's kind of a spoiler, but the suicidal behavior happens more than just once. Epic of Gilgamesh, Much like the previous one, except the suicide is literally the first part of the story. Imawa no Kuni no Alice, So half of the story is build up in order to make the main character kill himself eventually, you'll get what I mean. oops, spoilers ;) There are many others, but they were all suggested, so I had to choose some manga that weren't solely about suicide. |
| Holyland and No Longer Human. |
| Alive. It is a manga about a subside virus. |
| not anime or manga, but i'd recommend picking up a subscription to Heavy Metal magazine. Another good investment would be "The Heroin Diaries" which is like an autobiography/graphic novel. It's like, pretty much the Bible of drugs/depression. I'm kind of hesitant here, because I have a feeling this could possibly encourage you to get into opiates as some naive kid thinking they should because of depression. Stuff like this is supposed to scare people away from it, or motivate addicts into quitting. I've been depressed for literally 20 years, and speaking from experience, withdrawal is the fucking worst. Depression makes drugs seem like the perfect fix for it at first, but it's not worth it. Like, if you think your life is wrecked now, just wait till you're broke, unemployed and/or homeless and coming down on burning muscle aches and fever chills that will ensure you get an hours sleep at most for the coming month. |
| Sabishisugite Lesbian Fuuzoku ni Ikimashita Report is about a girl dealing with mental illness (depression and anxiety) and self harm. |

 |
| +1 Orange +1 Oyasumi Punpun I'll also add Ningen Shikakku. It was a manga adaptation of Osamu Dazai's work with the same title. It's heavy and depressing, and it includes the topic of suicide too. |
