I don't know anything about cutting, but with respect to the therapy - I've seen 4 or 5 people (at varying lengths) over the past few years, only one of whom I actually liked and connected with. The others made me feel like I was wasting my life, my energy (my money...), but that one did more for me in a few months than I can possibly describe. It really IS worth it, if you can make the step to try again.
You said your in college - is there a student counselling service available? That one therapist I liked I saw through my university (for free!), and she was a psych PhD student unlike the useless other ones.
Good luck -
