does anyone else feel like on the days you're over the top depressed you won't get whatever you use to self harm with to self harm and anything you use to clean up and protect yourself because you just feel really tired and mentally/physically don't have the energy to no matter how much you may feel like you need to self harm?

I'm wondering because at these times I feel like I have to make myself and I feel stupid about it. also after saying something like this to my therapist(who I no longer see), she said I sounds like I'm just doing it to do it and really, I'm not.

Yes, I do get that feeling. Very often in fact. You're not alone :hug:

I get that feeling way too often, the urge is there but I feel so drained that I can't cope with the hassle of it. It must sound so stupid to other people but you're not the only one that experiences it. Your (ex)therapist is probably one of the many people that has no clue what it even feels like to self harm. I wouldn't read too deeply into what she thought about it. If she doesn't know what it feels like to be in that situation then it's very unlikely she's going to have an accurate opinion.

I would find a new therapist
That doesn't sound right. Everybody cuts for their own personal reasons whether it be attention seeking, a cry for help.... Or you do it to cope with pain
In your case I don't think your doing it just to "do it"
You sound like your severely struggling with something
Like something is really bothering you inside and you haven't told nobody
I would recommend seeing a different therapist in my opinion
I'm the same way. I cut when something bothering me
