Can depression fade and return?

Last year, I diagnosed myself with depression (based off of online symptom checks/tests). I had suicidal thoughts and slit my wrists.
After some months, the thoughts began to disappear. I became distracted with school and friends, with a crush, etc...Now, the depressed feelings seem to be returning.

I'm 13 and graduating the 8th grade quite soon.

Could these feelings possibly be depression that faded away, then returned somehow? is that even possible?

Thanks

thats what bipolar means. bipolar people go thru two extremes: depression and mania (the opposite of depression).

The most plausible answer is that you don't have depression. You can't diagnose yourself with a mental illness. that just makes you a hypochondriac and attention seeker. The fact you even stated you diagnosed yourself just makes me furious as well as anyone else who truly has a mental illness. Get off here. You're barely old enough to use yahoo answers in the first place.
