Does anyone know of any GOOD books that are classified as literature but about depression/self harm or anything along those lines?

Yes...The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath is excellent; Night Falls Fast by Kay Redfield Jamison is really good; and Cutting by Steven Levenkron is good and Reviving Ophelia is good by Mary Pipher...these are a few of my favorites....email me at helpkaira@yahoo.com if you want more titles. I have a few more I could tell you about. This subject is of particular interest to me. Good Luck and hope this helps. Happy reading!

_The Sorrows of Young Werther_ by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
_An Unquiet Mind_ by Kay Redfield Jameson
_The Dream Songs_ by John Berryman

"The Sandman" by E.T.A. Hoffmann
Most everything by Edgar Allan Poe
_The Malady of Death_ by Marguerite Duras

I could recommend more, but these are all great works of literature, and a good starting point.
