Question

@lilyslovac i would think so, if you do it purposely or extra hard or repeatedly. if you do it on purpose to draw blood, please stop.

@lilyslovac I think the why is part of deciding if it's self harm. Are you scratching because you're itchy? Then no. If you're scratching as a coping method of emotional pain or to feel physical pain then my understanding is that would be self harm.

when i started self harming I didn’t have access to anything sharper so i’d get something like a sharp needle and repeatedly scratch my veins until they bled. now i do worse but i recognise that that’s bad too and it’s just what led to this point. i’d try to get help now while it’s not too bad :)
