What constitutes as self harm?
Self-Harm Recovery / by sympatheticTown2921
Last post
 June 7th
...See more I don't cut myself or anything like that, but sometimes I choke myself with a scarf or pull my hair as hard as I can, or hit my head on something. Lately, I've wanted to do that again; my life is pretty much going to ***. I don't mean to, but it distracts me from my mental pain. I don't know if that counts as self-harm, and I don't do it too often, just when I'm having a breakdown from stress. Nothing that causes actual wounds anyway. Regardless, any insight would be nice.
