Depression is a bitch, honestly, never had it but I know people who've had both accute and chronic depression. Hell the guy who got me into music hanged himself a year and a half ago due to suffering depression for over two decades. Shit stinks worse than the socks in Davey Jones' locker.

Now with all seriousness, this just seems off on the topic. Chronic depression is usually not that bad, you don't really feel like your life is a big gray bubble of dull and "painful". It's not as bad and can be passed off as fatigue, stress and any other number of things that make us feel "meh". A lot of people with the chronic condition end up finding out about the illness through other problems it causes. Accute depression that ones the one you're looking for. This, well this kind of seems more like an edgy kid who discovered humanism and philosophy overall.

All of this should be a lot more emotional, obviously depression has a genetic factor and everything can be awesome around your character, everything but one bad exam season where stress took over and bang he's depressed. Still, this is way too metaphoric in reasoning.

Also, if this isn't about depression or other emotionally disturbed condition, self mulitiation isn't what you're looking for. Histrionics would hurt themselves in the proccess of gaining the threatrecal attention they seek by accident, but wouldn't hurt themselves badly on purpose. Narcissists wouldn't hurt themselves, simply put. Delusion? perhaps... but he seems of a clear mind, a little too clear, other than the Jesus imagery. If Ed Gein's mom wasn't such a mess he probably wouldn't gravedig or kill anyone. He'd just be that weird handy man in his town with the loopy look in his eyes. There's just something about those that are delirious that makes them stand out in a way.

Also, the technical aspect of this is an eye killer... get rid of the bold font first and then fix your grammar, punctuation, styling and well everything to do with language.
