Self Harm - what does it mean?

It's one of the worst form of punishment that someone can do to themselves, it tears people apart, pushing friends and family aside, going to mental facilities, becoming suicidal, irreversible scars that stick with you forever for a reminder of your darkest times, the scars left over from Self Harm and be seen has war medals, you were one of the few people to make it out of self harm alive.

Self harm can come in many different forms, I'm currently recovering from one round of self harm and starting to enter a second one, the most recognized form of self harm is cutting one's wrists with a knife but other places are cut to hide them of friends and family (waist, thighs, shoulders, etc) another form is scratching yourself to leave marks, people with longer nails are normally the ones to do this, it leaves long trails of red marks about 1 centimeter wide but they fade away after awhile, another form is bruising yourself, this can happen in different ways, hitting yourself, hitting the body part against something (table, wall, etc) a not as common one is scraping one's self until they bleed, using nail files, rocks, or anything that can leave a scrape.

But please remember, you're more than your self harm journey, if no one believes in you I do, when you make it out I'll be even happier, I'm proud of you no matter what, we're all warriors in our own ways ♡

Self harm is a terrifying thing, it destroys and takes lives every year at a worrying rate, it distances people from loved ones

Self Harm - meaning

The worst way to cope. People often self harm to focus on something physical rather then the mental pain they are experiencing. Some people think self harm is for attention but it's not. Nobody does self harm for attention, and nobody should be treated like they do. If you or somebody you know is self harming please get help.
Self Harm can also be abbreviated as SH

Person 1: " dude Jessica is self harming she is such an attention seeker."
Person 2: "What is wrong with you?! I am going to talk to Jessica never talk to me again."

Self Harm

Self harm refers to the willful act of harming oneself. Many people simply group its many forms under "cutting," but this is technically incorrect. Self harming is usually triggered by an underlying behavioural or emotional disorder, such as depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or bipolar disorder, or total lack of feeling. The main reason why people self harm is because it simulates an attack, and produces endorphins, among other hormones, which provide comfort to the self harmer. However, there are many dangers in self harming:
-If the self harmer cuts a little too deep, they might not be able to stop the bleeding.
-Hepatitis B, and other blood-bourne diseases.
-Scars are unattractive. At best.
Additionally, it's highly addictive and hard to break. It's equivalent to ending an eating disorder. The psychological addiction level is very high, as one might suspect, but there is a physical aspect of the addiction: The hormones released after an act of self harm are tangible things which can be very difficult to be separated from. While someone is quitting self harming, there may be disturbing outward manifestations of the desire to harm, such as sadism. These symptoms will pass with time.
In short, self harm disorder is not something to be trifled with. Its association with a certain style of clothing and music is unfortunate, and self harming to try and conform with this twisted stereotype. The will to fit in will fade quickly, but the scars are immortal.

Self harm brings nothing but pain and misery.

Can you reach for the stars, with the scars on your wrists weighing you down like leaden shackles on damned souls?

Self Harm

OK, despite what some people think, and generalise, self harmers are not all emo, and don't all do it in the same way.

For example, a previous post described that it is normally on the wrist lower arms, and in certain shapes every time.
This isn't the case; people may also do if for any reason on their stomach, legs, chest and upper arms.

People that carve pretty stars and flowers into their arms are just attention seeking idiots that need to grow up.
Self harm is something that affects over 20% of teenagers aged 12 - 19, and can seriously affect people's lives. People who suffer from depression may self harm, and people who don't.

People, please change today.
When you see a kid with scars on their wrists and tear tracks, don't judge them; don't automatically call them emo.
Just be caring towards them;
Help end self harm!

Man that kid is emo...

No she isn't; she's just hurting. It's self harm; not a stereotype

Self Harm

An addictive act of cutting, hitting, burning, ect. ones self. The majority of people think self harm is a form of "attention seaking", with most cases it's not. However there's people who do self harm as a way to make people feel bad for them. Most people who self harm started doing it because of depression but now they cannot stop because thats the only escape they have.

"I self harm as an escape...not for attention"
"I self harm to take the edge off my feelings"
