SELF HARM.
A lot of people think that self harm is just cutting.
This isn't true though.
Cutting is just a common form.
BUT
there are other ways people self harm
that shouldn't be merely ingnored.
This includes:
-drug OD
-alchohol usage
- scratching
-stabbing
- anything else to cause direct harm to themselves
Self harm for me: scratching, stabbing my nails into the palms of my hands, banging my head against a wall multiple times causing headaches for a briedf perid of time and, twice, holding my breath until it feels like my lungs will explode.
Don't ignore the people who are hurting.
Reach out and make a difference.

Can I ask you something? I've never really been quite clear on this. Scratching, would that be like, I don't know, using a pin and kind of ripping through skin, or something like that?

scratching is when you use anything, ive used a push pin, bobby pin, fork, nails, scissors, and knife, to scratch your skin. It rips skin but doesn't bleed and the marks only last for about a week depending on how bad it is.
