self harm

self harm is used by people to cope with emotional pain or stress or other things. it can turn into something obsessive or into an addiction. most people do not self harm for attention, but if they do please reach out to them too. harming yourself for attention isn’t a healthy or mentally well thing to do. also note that self harm isn’t only cutting oneself; it’s intentionally harming yourself in any way. from cutting to pulling out hair. if you’re concerned about someone bring it up, but in a cool/soft way.

self harm is an unhealthy coping mechanism

‘i used to harm myself, but i went to therapy and found some healthy ways to cope’

‘im concerned about … i think they may be harming themself’
