Why can't you just quit cutting yourself?
It seems like needless pain to me... and a bad way to attempt suicide...
If a depressed person wants to commit suicide so bad, why don't they do something quick and painless and get it over with instead of dragging it on and probably not even making it happen?
It doesn't make sense to me why someone would want to suffer even more when they already are apparently.
I'm sorry I just don't understand how you manage to get depressed / find it so difficult to not be depressed

I'd like to know what exactly a depressed person expects to gain from mutilating themselves.

...Peculiar.
What rush does one get from cutting themselves? I certainly wouldn't think it would be a pleasureful rush, like sex or smoking marijuana...

I think it can be like that Parrhesia. Tattoos, piercing your johnson, dying your hair green, picking a fight with someone that's going to kick your butt, drinking something you know will make you puke.... or if you're 13 and not allowed to do any of those things (for example), taking control of the ONE thing you can control and cutting.
It can be a release of pain felt inside. A transfer of the inner pain to actual physical pain that can offer some sort of relief to the person doing it, because nothing else may offer such a relief.
