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’

Something where someone who may or may not be suicidal either cuts into there arms and legs or burns them selves, it is a copping stragady.

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."

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

It’s always ‘wrist reveal’ or ‘your just doing it for attention’ but never ‘are you okay, I’m here for you’ it shows how selfish people can be, if you see fresh cuts on a persons body, ask them if they’re okay. If you are dealing with self harm right now, reach out to someone you trust. You are not alone
Anonymous: ‘WRIST REVEAL’
Me: ‘HEY! That’s not funny okay’
Anonymous: ‘don’t get so pressed’
Me: ‘ignore them, how are you? I’m here for you if you want to talk, you are NOT alone’
Because self harm is nothing to joke about <3
