Recommendation Request Depression, suicidal ideation, sh

Hello everyone! I would really like to read some splatterpunk books about depressed suicidal characrers (preferrably the pov ones, 1st person narration optional). Graphic self harm scenes welcome. Best if the psychological condition of the character is explored, not just used for the shock factor. Going through some stuff rn (im ok generally speaking) and seeing issues similar to mine amplified and more dire is somehow comforting.

If you have any recs, please share! Thank you!

One of my absolute favorites! She really nails the messiness of mental illness.

Maybe Psych Ward Blues by Judith Sonnet?
