Im finally happy but im not?

Ive been dealing horrible mental health for the past months now and its just teen getting worse and worse im loosing my appetite im loosing interest in everything I genuinely cannot eat. This all begins (this will be short) it all begins with my "friend" they send a video in a group chat I say im not very interested in the show and he says for me to kms and this "friend" is homophobic, misandrist he's everything the stereotypical white male teen that makes fun of everything. I was struggling with my mental health at that time and still am but he made it worse I ended up stop being friends with him and he tried sending me messages saying he's sorry and than trying to turn the blame on me saying how oh it s just saying for my to kms and I did struggle with self harm. Anyways these past few days I've had hunger but could barley eat anything and still no interest in anything but I've felt happier but I dont know of this is a good thing I feel like im gonna go back down in terms of my mental health. (Sorry if this is confusing)

Relumed hands?

I have a radium clock (used resin to seal the glass edges ) it is max 90 cpm and max 0.5 usvh extremly low. The hands i think are relumed and the numbers are original because the hands are a white green and the numbers are the radium brown. Am i able to run the clock even though i think the paint drjed and flaked off the hands.

I did the balloon test?

Idk what it's called but I blew up 3 balloons I placed one next to my first radium clock one in the corner of my bedroom and one on the wall oposite of my clock, I got 120cpm max and a rough dosage of 1usvh at the clock, on the wall balloon I got 70cpm max and a dosage of 0.7 usvh, and on the corner I got 64cpm max and a dose of 0.4-5usvh is this dangerous or not? Should I isolate the clock? (Not medical im just asking if it needs to be moved)

How do i deal with this?

Hi im not gonna say my age but im in the early adolescence. Now to get to the main topic throught rhis past week ive been getting thoughts about self harm, im taking a autism test throught the next weeks as ive been trying to get tested for the past few years. During the first questionare that the people gave me to fill out they talked alot about self harm wich made me worried because i kept thinking about memories i wasent sure jf they wete self harm. Fast forward to the in person questiond they kept bringing up self harm and to one question "have you had self harm thoughts" and i replied with "yeah but their minor i really only get them at night and its only about maybe me hurting myself but i dont really want them" they asked " what kind of things do you think about doing" i said " its complcated i dont really know". (That happend so again for me to note i dont get self harm thoughts during the day rather their at night where i have nothing to do i cringe at the thought of me even writing this.) (Also if i havent said sorry for my grammar) anyways i love knives i have 2 swiss army knives but i get worried at night so ill end up hiding my knives so incase i try to do something i really dont want to (thats if i even do it) than their hiden and i cant really get to it since their in a really deep drawer. I honestly cant think of anything else to write i might add more in the comments but i really need help or atleast for someone to try and tell me if its just the "depression phase".
