“There is no advantage to harming yourself. Self Harm is a sign of distress, not madness.”
Self harming is a coping mechanism to deal
with the pain of emotional issues.
It comes in many forms such as cutting, burning,
hitting and swallowing toxic substances.
Self harming distracts from the pain to give
a feeling of being in control.
Diverting pain is a short term fix which can only be dealt with by understanding the root cause of the pain.
