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
